...rights belonged to another human being. The rights to the man's own personality! It was easy to get angry after that." It is to Reiner's credit that he was able to propel his anger with so much force. It is to his studio's debit that for the film's first run Reiner was not able to fling it farther than second-run movie houses...

Utilizing three IBM 360 computers and employing 500 office workers, the C.C.S. will handle transactions in much the same way that banks clear checks. When stock is traded, its computers will debit the account of the firm doing the selling, credit the account of the buyer. Transfers will thus be recorded as bookkeeping entries, with no certificates actually changing hands...
