Unmarked Vans. No show in the staid B.M.'s history ever generated such fuss or demanded such elaborate preparation. First, a firm of English packers spent five weeks in Cairo crating the treasures-each wrapped in cellophane, encased in plastic quilts, set on a foam cushion tray and finally shut in a carpeted crate. The museum stepped up its security precautions. When this groundwork (estimated cost: $900,000) had been done, the 41 crates were flown at night from Cairo in two BOAC freighters and one R.A.F. jet, then secretly whisked to the museum.

Business leaders who like to hedge their bets by giving to the leading contenders in both parties...

After the National Organization for Women picketed San Francisco's Crocker Bank last year, bank officials announced that the secretaries of its president and chairman had been appointed "assistant vice presidents." The promotions were counterfeit: both women in fact remained secretaries. With only slight exaggeration, Chicago Management Recruiting Executive Helen McLane complains: "America has put more men on the moon than it has women in the executive suite...
