...movies almost always portrayed U.S. dreams-and thus, indirectly, realities. Just as the peasant tales retold by the Grimm brothers spoke of common maidens who could spin gold from straw, Hollywood created its own folk stories from the yearnings of 1930s audiences. If I Had a Million, for example, tells of a quirky financier who sends million-dollar checks to strangers. A colorless clerk played by Charles Laughton receives his check in the mail, goes to the president of his company, sticks out his tongue and delivers a loud Bronx cheer. Blackout. In those precarious years, the vicarious thrill...
Lusteveco's U.S. owners, including Edward M. Grimm and Charles ("Chick") Parsons, who was a Navy guerrilla in World War II (and later told about it in Rendezvous by Submarine), promptly set about rebuilding. By 1963, Grimm, Parsons and colleagues were able to sell their 50% interest for $6.6 million to a group of Filipino businessmen and investors headed by Jose B. Fernandez, now 43 and the company's chairman. U.S.-educated (Fordham, Harvard Business School) and a member of a wealthy Manila family, Fernandez tapped as president a young American: Donald I. Marshall...
...literature ostensibly created for children-Huck Finn, Grimm's fairy tales-fantasy was mixed with social satire and cruelty beyond the comprehension of innocent minds.

He stressed the sameness of the two worlds, ignored or abolished the differences, reconciled the generations. If at times the results were mawkish, Disney scarcely gave...
Just as bullish about his prospects is Rod D. Grimm, 25, a Berkeley graduate student in marketing who has al ready served two years in Viet Nam with the Green Berets. Grimm, who receives his master of business administration degree this summer, has been interviewed by 15 companies. He has gotten eight "seconds"-invitations to inspect company facilities and talk seriously about work and salary-and expects several more before he is finally forced to make a choice...
Interviewees Down. Last week, from Berkeley to Boston, that annual rite of spring called campus recruiting was well under way. And if students like Hartman and Grimm made it sound like a buyer's market-well, it was. "Almost any warm body can get a job," comments M.I.T.'s Placement Director Thomas W. Harrington. This year even more firms are sending out personnel experts to round up bodies for even more jobs than they did in a heavy campaign last year. At the University of Chicago Business School, for instance, 230 companies are recruiting v. 190 last year...
