Unfortunately, there was not always a lot for Nancy Sinatra to laugh about; during the first 25 years of her life, Laughing Face was as close as she ever came to fame. Now, however, with four hit records and two starring movie roles to her credit, she can claim to have made it on her own. Nancy, in fact, is lately being given the kind of celebrity treatment usually accorded her father. In Viet Nam, where she recently toured, 37 outfits generously named her their No. 1 pinup girl. She is currently negotiating a contract with the Pontiac people...
...mere device to help Britain and the U.S. dodge the consequences of their persistent balance-of-payments deficits. Two weeks ago at Munich, to the consternation of U.S. officials, the French swung the other Common Market Finance Ministers to the restrictive Gaullist recipe for monetary reform: larger credit facilities through the IMF. To achieve that, France merely dropped its two-year opposition to devising any contingency plans at all and its generally unpopular demand to study whether the price of gold should be raised.

...belonged almost exclusively to pawnbrokers and loan sharks, who charge 30% to 100% interest, the Milan-based Banca d'America e d'ltalia, a subsidiary of the U.S. Bank of America, set up a small-loan program late in 1965.

Despite constant criticism from other universities, Harvard will allow its students academic credit only for courses taken at Harvard Summer School ("We just don't know how to evaluate the programs at other schools," Dean Monro explains) ;so if there is a reason for a Harvard student to take summer courses, he will be taking them here. Accelerating, making up deficiencies, enduring the martyrdom of 34 hours a week of Chem 20--these are some things that keep Harvard students at Harvard Summer School. And for the others, whose own colleges...
Nevertheless, the corporations are largely Kennedy's creations, and he will get the lion's share of the credit if the Bedford-Stuyvesant project succeeds. He met with members of the community in February of last year. They told him they had seen a good many politicians drop in and make promises and that they wanted some results. He said he agreed, and he assigned aides in his Manhattan office to begin working with them on a structure for a massive program. He approached Javits and Lindsay--insiders point out that Logue and a good many other big names would...
