...Advance. Last month, when Sam Newhouse went looking for the proper gift for their 35th wedding anniversary, he had a good basis to go on-Mitzie, a delicate wisp of a woman (5 ft., 76 Ibs.) who likes to wear originals by Dior and Givenchy, still has a high interest in high fashion. Last week Sam came home with just the right present: Conde Nast Publications Inc., publishers of the haute couture Vogue (circ. 415,258), House & Garden (circ. 576,196), and their svelte siblings Glamour (circ. 668,062) and Bride's Magazine (circ. 169,902).

...British Laborite backbenchers, flew a high-powered Soviet parliamentary delegation headed by gaunt, shock-haired Mikhail Suslov, 56, top Stalinist theoretician. He chucked babies under the chin, watched the House of Commons in action, and laid the inevitable wreath on the Highgate grave of Karl Marx.

Conquered & Collected. The fancy for pre-Columbian art dates back to the conquistadores. At first, only Europe's artists admired the primitive sculpture.

Daley and Republican Timothy P. Sheehan. The FCC agreed, ruled that Daly had time coming. Rather than contest the decision, most stations grudgingly put Lar ("America First") Daly (for legalized gambling, against public schools) on the air. WBBM-TV, the CBS station in Chicago...
Coming to the U.S. in 1956, Chesler bought a major interest in a company, which then acquired the Warner Bros, film library for TV and became Associated Artists Productions Corp. After a boardroom battle, Chesler signed a deal to sell 820,000 shares of Associated to National Telefilm Associates, Inc., though he controlled only 400,000 shares; later Chesler backed off and sold for a higher price to United Artists. To end a court fight, United Artists later paid $2,000,000 to N.T.A. The deal hurt Chesler's reputation on Wall Street-but it did not halt...
