Higher pay is not the only lure. Across the country businessmen beg. for secretaries with bristling columns of help-wanted ads, promising prestige ("Your Own Office!"), or glamour ("Handle TV Stars!"), or romance ("Young Execs!"). Many big companies, whose long-set salary and seniority schedules make them less attractive than higher-paying small companies, try to make up the difference with a long string of fringe benefits. After a survey of several score firms in the New York area, the Commerce and Industry Association of New York reported that 78.1% offer profit-sharing plans, 52.7% pay full costs for employees...
...lies about this country. In England I attended concerts, the theater, dances, whist drives, etc. Here in five years we stay in every night, my husband drops off to sleep, and I look at TV which I hate.

...nearby Williamsburg, Va., another lady Washington also admired (though presumably from afar) showed up last week, with the discovery in a private collection of another Charles Willson Peale portrait-this one of Actress Nancy Hallam, one of America's first glamour girls. The portrait, unidentified for more than a century, shows Actress Hallam playing the role of Imogen in Shakespeare's Cymbeline. Hailed as "superfine" by a contemporary theatergoer, and not above playing the daring "breeches part" of a young man on stage, Nancy and her charms lured Washington to the theater five times in one week...
...also around the world. For few men had ever seemed more thoroughly equipped by education and experience for leadership than Anthony Eden. Descendant of a centuries-old landed family, educated at Eton and Oxford, decorated for gallantry in World War I. Foreign Secretary at 38, Eden was the handsome glamour boy of the prewar international scene, made himself the hero of millions when he resigned in 1938 to protest Chamberlain's policies of appeasement. He was probably the most skilled diplomatic technician of his time. When, after long years in the shadow of the great Churchill, Eden became Prime...
