...prolonged joke on the theme of seduction. Tolen, a full-time girl chaser who "just isn't satisfied unless he has had it for five hours a day," shares a house with Colin, a bumbling schoolteacher who is desperate for sexual experience, and Tom, an imp whose chief delight lies in tormenting the other...
...security. Operating out of the west wing of the White House, he funnels important reports to the President, sees him half a dozen times a day.

So far this year, 937 companies have boosted dividends. Last week IBM increased its dividend by 250 for the second time in 1963, to $1.25 a share. Deere & Co., with profits up 30% in a bumper crop year, raised its dividend a nickel to 600, declared a year-end extra of 350 and proposed a two-for-one split...
