...people emotionally disturbed rather than present facts." Sheriff Paul Bright, who has been assailed by the Observer for efforts to close such movies as I, a Woman and Candy, vainly sought a warrant to arrest Day when the paper published some four-letter words used by S.D.S. Founder Tom Hayden at the University of Idaho, even though the speech was also televised. The prosecuting attorney ruled that the one incident showed no pattern of obscenity but warned that Day should not use such words again. Day, naturally, makes no such promise. "We don't mind risking the paper when...
...always talked of in capital letters. Abby Aldrich Rockefeller was a woman of powerful prejudices, and most of them were good. She collected Indian art before many people thought it worth collecting, ventured into Greenwich Village to see the works of struggling young artists and in 1929 was a founder of the Museum of Modern Art. Nelson was the second son of her five (John D. is older, and Laurence, Winthrop and David are younger), but he was the most responsive to her artistic instincts.

Thus did Mrs. John Slocum, a Newport and Washington, D.C., socialite and a direct descendant of Rhode Island Founder Roger Williams, describe her future son-in-law, Adam Clayton Powell III, a direct descendant of the high-rolling Harlem Congressman.

Beryl said that she and Adam, 22, a producer in WCBS-TV's news department in Manhattan, will...

Then, recalls Walter Haas Jr., 53, a great-grand-nephew of the founder and the firm's president since 1958, "we did something very basic. We began concentrating on the teen-age market." As its youthful customers grew older, the company kept their trade by bringing out "white Levi's" and later a full line of men's casual wear. Last year it introduced "Levi's for gals," a line...
...There is even a franchised diet service (Weight Watchers, Inc.) and a franchised system for correcting nocturnal bed-wetting (Enurtone Co.). Recently, the fastest growth has been concentrated in the quick-service food field. It includes such enterprises as the 93-outlet H. Salt, Esq. Fish & Chips operation -whose founder, Haddon Salt, brought the idea from England in 1964-and the 110-outlet hot-dog-and-beer operation called Frank 'n' Stein...
