...Quiver, a $3.50 package of twelve sachets of liquid douche concentrate that is offered in two floral scents (orange blossom and jasmine), as well as two flavor scents (raspberry and champagne). The ads were created by Marsteller Inc., a relatively sober agency that includes among its accounts IBM, Dannon Yogurt and Fruit of the Loom. Vogue banned any hint of the flavors, and the ad in that magazine showed only the floral scents...
...want to hide something in Grand Central Station, make it big. For weeks I had been passing through New York's largest subway terminal, never noticing the large, fiberglass cubicle recently built there. Inside that plastic cage sprawls Astroflash, the enormous IBM computer which, after great financial success in Paris, has invaded America's largest city. When equipped with a subject's place and exact time of birth, the mechanical monster will spew out an "astro-psy-chological portrait" and "an astralcalendar for the coming six months," at the rate of 1100 lines a minute. Trilingual as well as speedy...
Last week the House Judiciary Committee heard testimony from representatives of Gillette, IBM, Procter & Gamble and other firms in favor of several bills that would sidestep the law by allowing aliens on temporary visas to hold permanent jobs.

"For those people who are already familiar with the work," he muses, "I hope that seeing it all together will open scholarly dialogues about what the period will really stand for. For those who are unfamiliar with it, I hope...
Help from Raquel. It would please Steinberg if the U.S. financial community would also accept him as the sobersided entrepreneur that he believes himself to be. He started his company with $25,000 borrowed from his father, bought IBM computers and leased them to users at rates below IBM's own rental charges. He could undercut IBM's prices because he was willing to risk depreciating the computers over eight instead of four years, gambling successfully on a longer useful life of the equipment. From this base he moved into related fields, buying a container-leasing company...
