Only three of the ten largest unions impose compulsory retirement on their officials. And labor leaders are a durable lot: President Joseph Moreschi of the Hod Carriers is 80, domineering David Dubinsky of the Ladies' Garment Workers 73, Jacob Potofsky of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers 70, and A. Philip Randolph of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters...
...Generation. Edgar Bronfman has steadily been assuming more power. Father still bosses the parent company, Montreal-based Distillers Corp.-Seagrams Ltd., but Edgar since 1957 has headed the mighty U.S. subsidiary, Joseph E. Seagram & Sons. At his order, it will soon bring out not only bottled cocktails, but also ten other new drinks in the most ambitious marketing program ever undertaken by any distiller. As the first step in that program, he jetted last week to Los Angeles to introduce a lighter blend of Four Roses in a bottle shaped like a fat paddle...
...seemingly innocuous conversation marked a significant victory for the younger Bronfman, who looks something like Joseph Cotten did 20 years ago. He has long wanted to put out mixed drinks in the bottle; but Bronfman the elder argued that it was difficult or impossible to make a bottled cocktail taste as it should.

Heat from Father. Selling to 119 countries, Joseph Seagram last year accounted for 87% of the parent company's volume, earned $17 million on sales of $796 million (including excise taxes). Edgar figures to raise the total soon to $1 billion. "There's a little heat from my father to do it," he says. While supervising the U.S.'s two bestselling whiskies, Seagram's 7 Crown and V.O., Edgar has become a strong believer in market research, "but not as a substitute for intelligence." And every day he sits, sips, and selects blends with his master...
Lord Jim is the story of a blue-eyed, boyish sailor whose dreams of glory are lost at sea. Joseph Conrad's intricate turn-of-the-century novel expands a solitary act of cowardice into a moot question about every man's moral identity. As chief mate of the Patna, a leaky old steamer with some 800 Moslem pilgrims aboard, Jim joins his panicky crew in abandoning ship at the threat of a gale, only to meet disgrace when the doomed tub rides it out unattended. Thereafter Conrad's hero drags the ghost of his honor through...
