...think that the Class of 1971 will not one day be able to dip into this well of memory is appalling. It was sad indeed to hear the chairman of the Jubilee Committee list the reasons for lack of participation: no so-called "soul music and the bad reputation of Jubilee--the belief that it would be a "wild orgy." Perhaps our lady does have a bad name; then it is up to you to get it straight again...
...trading tapered off Thursday and Friday, but even so, the week's volume reached an alltime peak of 78,475,620 shares, topping a record of 65,948J60 shares set last Jan. 12.

After Ken Tigar recovered from some painful timing slips in the first act he gave a striking portrayal of a serf turned manager. His nagging, casually enunciated, and loud voice move against the general strength of Marilyn Pitzele's Ranevskaya...
Besides fidgeting through an auto-industry sales dip last year, the Ford Motor Co. had to sweat out a seven-week national strike by the United Automobile Workers. Totting up the toll, the nation's second biggest automaker last week reported 1967 sales of $10.5 billion, down from $12.2 billion in 1966. The earnings picture was even bleaker. With the strike accounting for a fourth-quarter loss of $109.1 million, Ford's overall profits last year skidded from $621 million in 1966 to $84.1 million -a drop...
