Secret Project. Not much of the Hughes Aircraft profit has gone to the medical institute. From 1964 to 1973, Hughes Medical received $21.6 million from the company; in the same period it gave back $8.8 million to Hughes Aircraft as repayment of a loan and spent only $8.8 million for medical research. Until now, the IRS has not compelled it to conform to the 1969 Tax Reform Act, which requires private foundations to disburse a fixed percentage of their assets. In the wake of Hughes' death, the Government may take a much closer look at the medical institute...
...diamonds, no rubies," groused one California schoolboy last week after seeing Sweden's King Carl Gustaf, 29. In fact, Carl Gustaf probably felt more like a tired tourist than Europe's youngest monarch. Now in the middle of a month-long U.S. tour, the King had gone to the San Francisco Bay Area for a 48-hour visit that included one consular banquet, an evening of disco dancing, a tour of the University of California at Berkeley, a quick look at San Francisco's new subway system, and lunch with Swedish-born Rudolph Petersen, former Bank...

...respect for Hitchcock's stature, and his years, Family Plot should be considered as fleetingly as possible. It is a comedy thriller gone awry, vulgar, lifeless and maladroit. The script is by Ernest Lehman, who wrote the witty screenplay for Hitchcock's sumptuous self-parody, North by Northwest. Here the writing is less like satire than putdown. At one point, Bruce Dern, who plays a scuffling actor/cab driver named Lumley, grouses to his girl friend, a self-proclaimed medium: "You've really got me by the crystal balls...
...Accounting. Had the Lockheed scandal not surfaced, this dismal performance might have gone unnoticed. Traditionally the top managers of state-owned corporations have formed a sottogoverno (subgovernment) that runs their enterprises with so little supervision that they do not even bother to keep the public or the official government up to date on what they are doing. Earlier this month, for example, the giant Institute for Industrial Reconstruction (I.R.I.), which controls 15% of all Italian industry, got around to releasing its consolidated balance sheet-for 1974. If the manager of a state-owned enterprise blundered, the government would quietly come...
