Advisory for Advice. Always jealous of its prerogatives, real or not, the Senate is wistfully aware that its influence is nil in nuclear crises that demand in stant response, such as the Cuban confrontation in 1962. It is likely to pass the Fulbright resolution when the measure eventually comes up for a vote. While the resolution would have no binding power on the President, its passage would constitute an advisory to Johnson that the Senate would like to advise him more often...
...might wish that stockholders would believe the figures did not really count. Though hopes were high that the chart lines would soon be moving up, the news in the latest batch of reports was largely negative. Profits had been caught between higher labor and material costs and lower consumer demand. The Wall Street Journal, surveying earnings of 528 companies, found that their aftertax profit for the second quarter was 8.1% lower than last year's. In a similar survey of 500 corporations, the New York Times tabulated a 5.28% half-year drop...

At the same time, BMW increased its own turnover by precisely the same percentage, expects to reach the $250 million mark in total sales this year...
Colicos speaks clearly and resonantly throughout the play. Only when he pushes his fortissimo does he occasionally skirt unintelligibility. Of all Shakespeare's great tragic heroes, Macbeth most needs an actor as opposed to a reciter. Colicos meets this demand impressively. His movements are as convincing as his voice. And he says an unusual amount with his eyes, which happen to be exceptionally penetrating. At present Colicos falls short of an ideal Macbeth in only one respect: his performance lacks sufficient size. Very probably his portrayal will acquire the desired largeness as he continues to play the part in coming...
