...Bank of America, which opened about 50,000 new accounts during March, had 64,000 applications in just the first two weeks of April. At New York's Chase Manhattan, activity last week was five times as great as in January and February. Observed Vice President Brian Holland: "Human nature being what it is, people seem to wait until the last minute." To accommodate all the eleventh-hour savers, First National Bank of Chicago kept its office open until midnight on April...
...Willem Kolff, 72, who calls himself "the oldest artificial organist." The founder of Utah's artificial-organ program got his start in the field by creating the first artificial kidney, a crude dialysis machine he pieced together from cellophane and other simple materials he found in Nazi-occupied Holland in the early 1940s.

Crime and other "worldly" problems rarely touch the plain-living Amish and Mennonite residents of New Holland, Pa.

In those years before rock became Ph.D. fodder, the girl-group sound married musical sophistication and the saving emotional jolt. That sound retains its power and appeal. On record, at least, the dream girls are still beautiful...
...this case, Les (Keith Charles) wants to retrieve his old happiness as a baseball broadcaster, while Bess (Holland Taylor) wants to keep climbing the celebrity ladder. Conceits of this sort always depend for their success on sending the audience out whistling their moral codes, but Lee Kalcheim is an amiable writer with a gift for constructing tight comic spots for Taylor and Charles to battle in and out of. The actress makes a tough lady sympathetic; the actor is a canny counterpuncher. Together they reinvent that splendid theatrical institution, the unhappy marriage, that no playwright looking for laughs should ever...
