Taking a tip from the airlines, NBNA Chairman Sidney Friedman has brought to banking what he calls "the stewardess philosophy." Each day his 570 female tellers swish behind their counters in one of their bank-provided "career coordinated ensembles"-a couple of dresses (navy-blue and light-blue), a sheath with a Chanel-type jacket and several ascots. Says NBNA's blonde Judy Thornton, who goes by the title of director of personnel development: "A girl can change her look as often as she pleases and still remain part of the overall unified look within the bank." Modish...
...that any way to run a bank? Apparently. The girls save around $250 a year in clothing. The bank has sharply reduced its teller turnover rate. Customers, too, seem to like finding a hostess at NBNA. Chairman Friedman gives the program major credit for pushing profits from $5,000,000 in 1964 to more than $12.5 million this year...
...Newton grievously wounded with a bullet through his stomach. It was one of the acts of war between police and Panthers that have bloodied the streets of Oakland for almost two years.

Wallace, while making an essentially emotional appeal, is a functional conservative concerned with such specific issues as segregation and states' rights (but not economy in government; for a Southern Governor, Wallace was a big spender). While the Goldwaters and the Buckleys disdain Wallace...
Last week Stephens was free and living in a small, police-protected apartment somewhere in Memphis. Pleased by their success, Gipson and Friedman maintained that their exhaustive research showed that laws regulating witnesses' rights could stand improvement in many states. The more enlightened laws, they pointed out, allow written depositions from witnesses as evidence, provided that the right of cross-examination and other trial guarantees are preserved. At least in many cases, the state thus avoids having to confine the bodies of witnesses to assure the presence of their words in court...
