...social-reformist instincts and his penchant for exposing economically motivated hypocrisy in all of man's social institutions. But Ibsen was not like that. He was Lucifer's child, a moral rebel with a lone eagle complex who believed that the master spirit soars above the common herd of slaves, who mill about in their social bondage of marriages, families, businesses, religions, political parties and national allegiances. A friend who heard Ibsen fulminating at the playwright BjØrnson's home in 1883 said of him: "He is an absolute anarchist, wants to make a tabula rasa...
Merchant of Funk. San Francisco's ex-brokers seem to have fared best. Four alumni of Merrill Lynch switched early last year from stock trading to stock feeding, forming the Western States Cattle Co. Unlike the whole herd of amateurs who have lost their hides in the tricky cattle business, these men quickly began to round up profits. Daniel Murray, Western's 30-year-old president, was a commodity broker with a wealth of experience working with feed-lot operators and cattle buyers. At his insistence, the firm limited its dealings to California, which has been untouched...
...keep Jacksonville from developing." Employees of one embattled company made explicit threats on his life. He began to worry when the station's ad director sarcastically offered him a list of WJXT's customers "so I could hit them systematically instead of one by one."

Nonetheless, White House insiders insist that there's a front runner, Harvard Law Student Edward Cox, 23, whom Tricia first met six years ago at a Chapin School dance in New York. In fact, these Washington touts are hinting that Tricia and her steady...
Herman finds contemporary rock more interesting than pop music a generation ago: tunes are longer and more complex, rhythms more diverse. Fortunately, the 16 young members of his current Herd-many of whom came from such music schools as Boston's Berklee and Indiana University-can play whatever Herman's arrangers ask. Woody returns the favor by giving them a remarkable measure of freedom. The group's spontaneity-perhaps the strongest remaining link to Herman's jazz past-attests to that. So does the individual success of such former Herman sidemen as Stan Getz, Zoot Sims...
