Fifth Avenue Compact. If any more piquancy were needed to build the gate, there is the additional fact that this is something of a grudge match. Nixon and Rockefeller collided in 1960 over the nomination when, as today, Nixon was the announced candidate with much strength in the regular party organization and Rockefeller the non-candidate in search of a draft. The contest was woefully uneven then, but Nixon badly wanted the backing of liberal Republicans. Rockefeller refused to consider the vice-presidential nomination, harpooned the outgoing Eisenhower Administration-and by implication, Nixon-and, as the price of support, exacted...
...among ever larger "regional centers" dominated by two or more major department stores. "Six or eight years ago, 40 stores made a good-size center," says Detroit Developer Alfred Taubman. "Today, we want a minimum of 80 stores and average from 125 to 150." That puts a premium on compact use of land. To squeeze a potentially rival department store (Stix, Baer & Fuller) into their Crestwood Plaza near St. Louis, Developers Louis and Milton Zorensky erected a building on stilts above the parking lot. In a sharp departure from the norm of the '50s, department stores themselves provide...
...Romans, by and large, adopted Greek styles as their own, became the world's first "antique" collectors by buying Grecian art. Workmen throughout the far-flung empire harked back to Periclean models, though the 2nd century Jupiter found in Belgium is Roman in its compact proportions. The Romans' greatest innovation was the realistic portrait, and their skills are powerfully summarized in a fleshy, glowering face, described by Yale Art Historian Sheldon Nodelman as "by far the most important of the Roman bronzes, one of the most striking pieces in the show." Though the portrait has not been formally...
...loss could be traced to the fact that it had decided to write off its entire inventory of obsolescent machines and concentrate on a new copier called the Super-Stat. President Clayton Rautbord, 40, also increased his company's sales force. The payoff has been handsome. A compact, relatively low-cost ($985) machine, the Super-Stat has caught on where the company's earlier dry-process copiers foundered. Last week Rautbord announced record 1967 sales of $35,618,000. Even more important was the black ink-a profit...
...last week, contains uncompromisingly fine acting by the two-man cast, Eli Wallach and Milo O'Shea, and a decent quota of amusing though not wildly funny lines. The empty half consists of scanty action, no character development, and a drowsy repetitiveness that comes from distending a potentially compact one-acter into a full-length play. The comedy concerns two aging homosexual barbers and is unlikely to offend any one, except possibly barbers...
