...such simple, homespun arts have become the domain of a select few-to say nothing of newer skills needed to cope with daily life. What, for example, is the difference between a Treasury bond and a Treasury certificate, or a condominium and a cooperative apartment? Whether the subject is glamour or gold, condos or coops, Network for Learning provides the answers, enlisting experts to explain esoterica in layman's language. Says Jeffrey Hollender, 26, executive director of Network: "We've expanded the bounds of traditional adult education." One of his instructors puts it more succinctly...
...Apparel Arts. Inc. Apparel Arts eventually became so successful that it started Esquire, which in the late 1950s, turned around and swallowed GQ altogether.

Gosha is a workingman, an upholder of traditional male values, however humorously he states them, and a man who insists that a woman accept him on his own terms. Katerina does, for she is strong and wise, and braver than he in overcoming the class problem their match presents, even...

There is irony in the fact that the Pulitzer hoax happened to those Watergate participants whose legitimate achievements became overmythologized, and whose fabled reputations and rewards drew a whole new generation of journalists who had a different perspective about their craft. Cooke saw stars, and was in too big a hurry to join the constellation...
