Died. Arne Jacobsen, 69, Danish architect and designer; of a heart attack; in Copenhagen. "Economy plus function equals style," proclaimed Jacobsen, and he carried out his philosophy in stunning, spare buildings like those he designed for Oxford University's St. Catherine's College, completed in 1964. Jacobsen was equally well known for his interiors and furnishings. His famous "egg" and "ant" chairs earned him more money and acclaim than many architects received for entire buildings...
There is some evidence, in fact, that far from counteracting the debilitating effects of ghetto environments, present ghetto classrooms may add to them. A recent study by Robert Rosenthal, a Harvard psychologist, and Lenore Jacobsen, a San Francisco school principal, has indicated that teacher expectations for pupils may be a key variable in determining achievement. If this is true, a ghetto teacher's low expectations for her black students could be a self-fulfilling prophecy...
Unwinding. Still, it was not an easy thing being an ex-President-at least for the first week-and it was clear that Johnson was having some difficulty unwinding. "He's not basically constituted to assume this new posture," observed Jake Jacobsen, a former aide. In a two-hour press conference at the ranch, Johnson was by turns shy and brave, moody and fitful, wistful and uncertain. He said he was convinced that he had done the right thing in renouncing reelection last March. Only Lady Bird seemed altogether certain that she would rather be in Blanco County, Texas...
...from the Administration are Johnson's own recruits (Walter Jenkins, Jack Valenti, Reedy, Horace Busby, Eric Goldman), as well as men who served both Kennedy and Johnson (McGeorge Bundy, Ralph Dungan, Kenny O'Donnell, Arthur Schlesinger, Richard Goodwin, Dave Powers, Pierre Salinger, Jerome Wiesner, Ted Sorensen). Jake Jacobsen, another of Johnson's inner-circle aides, will also depart early next year. Moyers' replacement will be George Christian, 39, a former Texas sportswriter (the Temple Telegram and International News Service) who was Governor John Connally's press secretary before going to the White House...
Carlsberg has been brewing beer since 1847 and Tuborg since 1873, but the working arrangement did not begin until 1895. By that time, Carlsberg was in difficulty: the company was selling plenty of suds to beer-loving Danes, but Owner Carl Jacobsen, son of the founder, had spent most of the profits on art acquisitions and a personal hobby of scientific experiments. Carlsberg's managers proposed a truce to Tuborg: both firms would cease such common practices as bribing bartenders or lending to clients to push their brands. Instead, both would concentrate on brewing and selling quality beer...
