...people in Calcutta believe the heyday of the bourse, or its roguish charm, can be restored. The city's private financiers were burned by the crash and are less willing to take risks, even for a friend. "All the trust has been lost," laments Kanta Prasad Changoiwala. Volumes on the bourse are expected to take another hit after July 2, when SEBI plans to introduce new rules?including regulated futures and options trading?aimed at controlling market hijinks. Some brokers think the Calcutta Stock Exchange may cease to exist altogether in a few months. For Changoiwala it would...
...heyday of heavyweight crew,” Crick said. “We had a great run back then. We won the [Eastern] Sprints three times. We were national champions twice. We also went to [the Henley Royal Regatta] a couple times. We raced in the Grand Challenge in ’87 and the Ladies Plate in ’86. We also went to the World University Games in ’87.

Introduced in 1946 on a kids' record album by former Capital Records executive Alan Livingston, Bozo debuted on Los Angeles TV three years later, played by Pinto Colvig, who had provided the voice on the records. During the clown's heyday in the mid-'60s, 183 different TV Bozos entertained kids in almost every major U.S. city, as well as countries from Brazil to Thailand.

The last big Mies show, 15 years ago at MOMA, happened during the heyday of Postmodernism, when Mies and his followers were charged with hostility to history, to imagination and to What People Really Want. Now it's Postmodernism that's in trouble. For anyone tired of whimsy, streetscapes modeled after the Magic Kingdom and office towers topped by medieval crenellations, the dry pieties...
When I first came to Japan back in the 1960s, Japanese professional baseball was in its heyday. It had produced, arguably, its best squad ever - the proud Tokyo Yomiuri Giants, who were then in the process of winning nine consecutive Japan Championships. The team was powered by Sadaharu Oh, the man who would go on to break Hank Aaron's lifetime home-run record, and its charismatic, clutch-hitting third baseman Shigeo Nagashima. Los Angeles Dodger owner Walter O'Malley was so impressed with Nagashima that he tried to buy his contract, but the Giants' aging founder Matsutaro Shoriki turned...
