REGINALD MARSH by Lloyd Goodrich. 307 pages. Abrams. $42.50. Eclipsed for the past couple of decades, Reginald Marsh is making a comeback. U.S. audiences are now in a better position to enjoy the abundant hedonism of his work: the firm round girls in their blowing dresses at Coney Island, the orgiastically crowded figure compositions, the sometimes surprisingly tough drawing. Marsh had a weakness for caricature and sentiment, but his best paintings preserve the raucous, burlesque New York of the '30s and '40s in exuberant amber...
...industries in Citi-Bank's study, and the list of companies that have reported an after-tax earnings gain of 20% or more in the second quarter is impressive-General Motors, Ford, IBM, Sperry Rand, DuPont, Union Carbide, Caterpillar Tractor, International Paper, B F.

As one starting forward, the Lakers have Harold ("Happy") Hairston, a rugged rebounder who complements Wilt in controlling the backboards. The other is Second-Year Man Jim McMillian (rhymes with villain), who is deadly from the corner and scored a career high of 42 points...
...rabid Madison Square Garden fans screeched DEE-fense. DEE-fense to spur New York into a ball-stealing frenzy. Jerry West calmly sunk a twenty-footer from the right side, and teammate Gail Goodrich followed with another basket moments later to rescue the Lakers from danger...
