...chased down a sinister guru who was freaking out vacuous young blondes on LSD. The Name of the Game recently had Gene Barry playing a magazine publisher kidnaped by a group of young radicals who planned to kill themselves at an Army chemical-warfare test site. It soon became clear that the pacifists were actually dupes of a young hippie-style Svengali, who had talked the others into a mass suicide because of his own hatred of society. Even Judd for the Defense, which has sympathized with alcoholics and black militants, doesn't always dig kids. A show last...
...doleful record of man's disobedience to God and the dread results of that sin for his progeny. Paul's Epistle, holding forth the redeeming grace of Christ as an antidote, reinforced his interpretation: in the Latin Vulgate, as Augustine read it, Paul's meaning was clear: it was Adam "in whom all have sinned...
ACCORDING to the standard political form-charts, businessmen are supposed to get a better deal from a Republican President. Cherished assumptions aside, the track records are not always so clear.

Partly because of high Japanese demand for U.S. lumber, domestic prices have risen by nearly 100% in the past year, increasing...
...decade, took a long time to decide. In 1962, the company was ready to roll with a small car called the Cardinal, but withdrew it within a few months of production because of fears that the market would not then support a new line. By 1966, however, it was clear that U.S. compacts were losing considerable ground to imports. The Falcon, which reached a peak of 493,000 sales in 1961, was down to 163,000 that year-and to even less in 1967. At a meeting of Ford's new-products group in the "Glass House," the company...
