...Producer Harold Prince and Composer-Lyricist Stephen Sondheim are men of giant daring, gifts and vision. In Company and Follies, they gave the U.S. musical theater new horizons. The corollary of valorous risks is the occasional mishap. Pacific Overtures might be called Prince and Sondheim's moonwalk musical. They land, but the dramatic terrain proves to be as arid and airless as the moon...
London's response to the new violence was swift and decisive. Prime Minister Harold Wilson announced that some 600 troops from the crack Spearhead Battalion would be dispatched from England to South Armagh. In addition, 400 men of the predominantly Protestant Ulster Defense Regiment were deployed in the county. In a more drastic move, some 150 men of the elite Special Air Services Regiment (SAS) will be sent to Ulster.

In 1972 ITT adopted the multiple-management plan, mainly to prepare for the retirement of its chief, Harold Geneen; at present both Geneen and structure remain. RCA also established an office of the chairman last September, but abolished it and returned to a conventional organization when Chairman Robert W. Sarnoff resigned in November. Other firms that in recent years have experimented with executive offices of three or more officials are Honeywell, Morgan Guaranty Trust Co., Armco...
