THEATER The new season is setting Broadway marquees ablaze again, though some were d arkened almost as soon as they were lighted. Cambridge Circus, Traveller Without Luggage, and The Last Analysis flashed their lights and are now gone. Holdover shows still predominate.

Weinberg, senior partner in Manhattan's Goldman Sachs & Co. and once a director of 35 companies (he has cut it to six), all this corporate tolerance is no laughing matter. Annual meetings are becoming a "circus," says Weinberg, thanks to "publicity-seeking characters who attend primarily to ask impertinent, irrelevant, sometimes abusive questions. This kind of behavior must be stopped right now, before stockholders lose respect for management. The vast majority of stockholders resent these characters. I was delighted when many companies that dispensed free lunches and free products at meetings stopped...
