...Surveys of business capital spending indicate only a moderate 4% or 5% increase in 1964, but almost all businessmen now consider this far too low, feel that the jump may actually be as much as 10%. "Businessmen act less conservatively than they plan," says Edward Carter, president of Broadway-Hale Stores, the West's biggest department-store chain. One reason for acting less conservatively from now on: the large number of children born during the war are now coming of age. The number of marriages-which has held steadily at 1,500,000 a year for a decade-jumped...
Married. Edward William Carter, 52, president of Broadway-Hale Stores, pillar of California community enterprise (fund raiser for the Los Angeles art museum, University of California regent); and Hannah Locke Caldwell, 49, member of the first (1936) U.S. women's Olympic ski team; both for the second time; in Menlo Park, Calif...
...those overlapping efforts will become secondary. Last week President Johnson named a high-level commission to handle the official investigation.

But a massive heart attack in 1955 slowed him down temporarily, cut his smoking from three packs a day to none, and tempered his ambitions for even higher office...
Yale's 250-year-old urban campus was a particularly cramped site for experiment; over the years, an ever-growing university had to build on top of itself. Cheek-by-jowl existed buildings from the colonial brick of Connecticut Hall where Nathan Hale once lived, to Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's dark glass box containing the university's IBM computer center. At one end of the campus is an electricity-generating powerhouse in, of all things, Gothic; not far away is a student dwelling, Davenport College, so eclectic that its street fac.ade is pseudo-Gothic and its courtyard...
