Some still suspect that his glamour is merely an inheritance, or that he is not quite intelligent enough for the White House. A wire photo purporting to show him emerging from a Paris club at 5 a.m. with an Italian princess is enough to start the womanizing rumors again. Is he really qualified for the presidency? How would he use the power if he had it? How great is his capacity for growth? Such unanswerable questions surround Kennedy as much as his family's aura...
...Glamour stocks usually command premium, prices-and Playboy Enterprises could be described as bulging with glamour. Apparently it is not quite the right kind of allure for Wall Street. Since 1.1 million shares in the magazine and key-club empire were offered to the public earlier this month, the price has dropped from $23.50 to $15.63. Playboy Panjandrum Hugh Hefner's shares, worth $158 million at the offering price, have fallen about $53 million in value in a little more than two weeks...
...members of an industry that is fading in both glamour and profits, aerospace companies are frequently exhorted by authorities on the nation's resources to come back to earth for their recovery. The same technological precision and managerial skill that succeeded in landing men on the moon, so the theory goes, should be of enormous value in solving problems that many Americans today consider far more crucial than exploring space-cleaning up the environment, for example, or getting around faster on the ground.

...doesn't look like a politician. Tall, lanky, slightly balding, with deeply lined features, McGovern hardly exudes glamour. Unaggressive and mild, he lacks the driving athletic power of a Lindsay, the magnetic, sophisticated political savoir-faire of a Kennedy and the intellectual passion of a McCarthy...
...innovative glamour accounts for the recent leap. The 1972 model year started out with little new except strengthened bumpers. What brought most of the spurt was the freeze-produced sales of 1972-model cars at early-1971 prices, as well as the $200 excise tax cut that President Nixon has proposed. If, as expected, Congress approves the cut, dealers will refund the tax to customers. American Motors has in fact been making excise-tax refunds even before Congress acts; the company's sales jumped 50% in September, compared with the same month in 1970. Whether or not the sales...
