Nearly 200 religious scholars, archaeologists and historians from Asia, Europe and the U.S. were in town, along with a delegation of Indian leaders led by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

Resplendent in beads, braid, silks and velvet, Robin and Mike wandered about...
...vice president and manager of institutional services, and five of his salesmen each drew 21 days. Three other Merrill Lynch employees, including two more vice presidents, were just censured. The commission also ordered Merrill Lynch to close its New York institutional sales office for 21 days and its West Coast underwriting office for 15 days during December, one of the year's heaviest trading periods. The closings may cost the firm more than $500,000 in lost business...
