Meanwhile, Los Angeles' Wham-O Mfg. Co., which a decade ago launched the Frisbee and last year revived the Hula Hoop as the Shoop Shoop, does not intend to be caught napping. For Frisbee flyers, whose six-month-old International Frisbee Association now totals 20,000 members, a new indoor model, only 3¾ in. in diameter, is on the market, and has already matched the sales of the conventional model. Latest of Wham-O's line is the Whirlee Twirlee. Something new? Not if you remember the way vaudeville jugglers used to spin plates...
...splendid as they may seem-mostly because of the tendency of Japanese corporations to dilute the value of their stock by issuing huge quantities of shares. The 1,245 companies listed on the Tokyo exchange now have a total of 91.6 billion outstanding shares. Toyota Motor Co., the country's No. 1 carmaker, has 765 million-almost three times as many as General Motors...
Last month Crocker-Citizens National Bank opened a 42-story headquarters and office building that displaces nearby Union Bank headquarters, completed last year, as the city's tallest structure.

Why the secrecy? "No one asked," said Erpf. But why should they? The Erpfs kept separate apartments...
Instead of simply duplicating the first-folio on film, Zeffirelli and his two co-writers, Franco Brusati and Masolino d'Amico, have blithely excised and elided speeches, transposed lines, eliminated characters. It is a dangerous game, rewriting Shakespeare, but Romeo and Juliet proves that it can be played and won. An even greater risk was to give the leading roles to a pair of youthful unknowns with virtually no acting experience: Juliet is a tremulous 16-year-old, Olivia Hussey; Romeo is Leonard Whiting, 17. Both look their parts and read their lines with a sensitivity far beyond...
