...RENT GENUINE BEATNIKS," said the ad. "BADLY GROOMED BUT BRILLIANT (MALE AND FEMALE)." It appeared in the Village Voice, parochial journal of Manhattan's Greenwich Village, and it represented an occupational sideline of Voice Contributor Fred W. McDarrah. The U-rent-a-hipster bit began as a joke earlier this winter, but when the first ad drew more than ten replies, McDarrah began to operate for real...
...working hours are controlled more by deadlines than by their own wishes, Reston feels that he does not have enough time for his family. But the family is the one interest that can get him away from the job.

With it he can buy political influence-he is a lavish contributor to the Christian Democratic Party-but Mattei, independently wealthy, lives almost austerely in a Rome hotel, turns over his salary to charity. At 53, his main interest outside of ENI is trout fishing. "I am going to retire at 60," he says, and critics ruefully acknowledge he is so well entrenched that there...
