...committee is still trying to determine whether Administration-approved settlements of three antitrust cases against International Telephone & Telegraph were linked with the ITT offer to pledge at least $200,000 toward underwriting the Republican National Convention in San Diego in August. The now famous Dita Beard memo quoted by Columnist, Jack Anderson, clearly implied a link. Mrs. Beard denied authorship, but admitted she had written another similar memo on convention financing and had delivered it personally to William R. Merriam, head of ITT's Washington office. Last week, however, Merriam told the committee that he knew of no such...
...Broadway" column in the 1920s, the Telegraph was studied as closely as Variety at Broadway restaurants such as Sardi's and Lindy's. Even in recent years the paper kept five staffers on the show-biz beat. One of the most popular writers in the 1950s was Columnist Tom O'Reilly, who used to write a Monday piece.

In 1968 he was metamorphosed into the Silent Majority and took a suitable place in a sort of faded Norman Rockwell portrait lit by a harsh new light. Even while denouncing and fearing the left-wing radicals, he himself grew impatient with politics as usual, and seemed ready to resort...
...unidentified ITT employee slipped Columnist Jack Anderson the famous Dita Beard and Chile memos, and Anderson says that someone at ITT still feeds him information. Last week Anderson wrote that a high-level employee at Pfizer Inc. tipped him that the drug company's managers were urging workers to write their Congressmen to express opposition to a bill that would set up a federal consumer-protection agency; a worker at Ford apparently put Anderson on to safety defects in the company's "sexy" Capri compact. This month in Harper's, Kermit Vandivier, a former B.F. Goodrich data...
