...unfairly described as "a graduate student of herself; and Rinsler, a cynical organizer for The Movement. A reader soon finds, though, that all three tend to talk (and think) like a John Leonard review. Here is Rinsler inwardly fulminating at "Melville's bourgeois psychodrama ... Ahab as entrepreneur cum zealot ... Babbitt redux; whale oil poured on troubled waters." Groans Marcy enduring the pain of delivery of her baby: "If this is nature, give me artifice...
...Committee to Re-Elect the President, arranged placement of $1,483,000 in SBA grants in order to influence Mexican-American votes for Nixon's reelection. Publicly, the subcommittee revealed that Thomas Regan, head of the SBA office in Richmond, approved a loan to a local entrepreneur, Joseph C. Palumbo. Eleven days earlier, Regan, 44, had married Palumbo's sister. Subcommittee Member Henry Gonzalez, a Texas Democrat, says that congressional investigators are looking into a series of leads that point to possible kickbacks from borrowers, loans made to borrowers in bankruptcy, and loans made before completion of credit...

In 1959 he was put in charge of Honda's first entries in Grand Prix motorcycle races; the firm picked up the team prize. In 1971 he supervised development of a clean, efficient "stratified charge" auto engine that recently passed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency antipollution tests with flying colors. He will have to draw...

A little more than a week ago, Granatelli, 50, got the razor's edge when his board of directors abruptly cut him loose and replaced him with John J. Hooker Jr., entrepreneur and sometime politician. Hooker was hand-picked by Derald H. Ruttenberg, chairman of the widely diversified Studebaker-Worthington Inc., which owns a controlling interest in STP.
