...only subdued the bankers but, quite unlike the case of President Kennedy's turnback of the steel price rise in 1962, left few visible scars on the business community. Business leaders, who like to borrow their money as cheaply as possible, were in no mood to complain. Wall Street was cheered by the continuing prospect of easy money; the stock market, which suffered its worst fall of the year (11 points) on the day that the Boston bank raised its rate, promptly recovered most of the lost ground. Such criticism as there was fell less on Johnson than...
Executives Out. Lesch set up a number of "invention groups," increased the annual product-development budget from $8,000,000 to $28 million-and helped to pay the bill by cutting the salaried force by 10% to 15%. Some critical ex-executives complain that under Lesch, Colgate's middle managers are overworked and insecure, and that the company's profits have yet to top the 1959 record of $25 million.

Religious belief and understanding are definitely helpful in facing death." Psychiatrists, who tend to be agnostics, complain that the clerical attitude generally puts too much emphasis on where a person is going and too little on what he is leaving. Like Rabbi Fine, they believe that a philosophy of death is an essential part of life...
...marry him. She thinks: "I have enough strength for us both." At first they are happy, but soon his lack of drive becomes a problem. Though she hates to leave Paris, she loyally goes to live with him in a small town, where she is bored but does not complain. Determined to rescue him from obscurity, she disgraces him in public, and they have to leave town. Back in Paris, she wangles him a place in a prominent law firm. To help with expenses, she goes to work for an ad agency. Several men pursue her hotly...
