...premature publication of the Versailles Treaty in 1919 was one of the greatest scoops in the history of journalism, and more important: it resulted in the defeat of President Wilson's plans and "broke his heart." However, credit for this scoop should go to Spearman Lewis, managing editor of the Paris edition of the Chicago Tribune, and not to my close and dear friend, Frazier Hunt, who died recently [Jan. 5]. Hunt was asked by Lewis to take the treaty to Chicago, and Hunt smuggled it through customs. Lewis negotiated for weeks to get the treaty, and pledged...
...grand designs, execution is far more difficult than enunciation. The necessity to check spending, for instance, will inhibit proposals for expensive new federal activities. But some White House aides believe that there are other ways to inject new interest into the old Great Society pitch. Instead of merely claiming credit for previous accomplishments and promising more of the same, Johnson, they believe, should point up his campaign with the "incremental approach." This prescribes the setting of firm goals, timetables and priorities-for instance, the fractional reduction of pollutants in the air by a certain date or the creation...
...Raphaelite group of English painters, who banded together in 1848, belongs the credit generally given to the French impressionists of being the first to paint finished landscapes in the open air.

...experts considered it inevitable that the momentum would decrease in the second half. Altogether, businessmen facing higher taxes and costlier credit will be spending about $85 billion on new plants and equipment by year's end-little more than they invested last year. The G.N.P. will grow 7.5% from an estimated $784 billion to $842 billion on a seasonally adjusted basis, but only half the increase will be real. The rest will be higher prices caused by what NICB Economist Martin R. Gainsbrugh* described as a move "from creeping to cantering inflation" and due directly, the economists agreed...
...takes over the James Bond industry with a suitably unlikely yarn about a convention of Iron Curtain bosses in Greece. Arthur Hailey seems to be starting a literary business too, by following his bestselling Hotel with a novel called Airport. Future possibilities are endless: Pentagon? Water Commission?
