...world that his detractors say they can never enter ? the world of Manhattan's glittering East Side, of discotheques and penthouse parties, of private-school accents and what Procaccino, in a rare flash of genuine wit, once called the "limousine liberals." Lindsay's riposte was to label Mario's entourage "Cadillac conservatives." In the view of their foes, Lindsay's forces loom as an alliance of patricians and restive blacks ? the New Establishment in urban America ? and Procaccino and his aver age man are out to destroy...
...Stalinist Label. The first signs were anything but optimistic. At week's end Premier Oldfich Cernik's entire 29-man Cabinet was dissolved. Cernik, one of the first of Dubćek's allies to make amends with pro-Moscow conservatives after the invasion, was ordered by the Central Committee to form a new government. Its membership, announced this week, reflected the hardliners' virtually total control.

Both Members of This Club, he calls it, and there a black man and a white are trying to beat each other's brains out for money...
PREOCCUPATION WITH TRIVIA. The FTC devotes an astonishing proportion of its energy to attacking allegedly misleading textile-and fur-labeling practices. It has questioned a fur label on which "South West Africa" was abbreviated to "S.W. Africa" and a "90% wool" label on a blanket that was 89.9% wool. On the other hand, the commission does not even screen local TV and radio commercials or scan newspaper ads to detect the fraudulent practices-fictitious pricing, home-improvement gyps, "bait-and-switch"schemes-that the FTC's own studies indicate are widely practiced in ghetto areas. The main reason...
