Some time late in July, Charles de Gaulle will sail into Montreal harbor aboard a French warship. Castro and Tito are expected, as are Lyndon Johnson, Harold Wilson, Emperor Haile Selassie, Queen Elizabeth of Britain, Princess Christina of Sweden, Belgium's Prince Albert and The Netherlands' Queen Juliana. A complex computer-linked operations board will be used to plot each minute of every state visit to be sure that entourages never encounter one another...
...look has made all the difference. In 1961, when Nancy joined Reprise Records (then owned by her father) after a disillusioning one-semester fling at college, she was strictly Carol Coed. Over the next five years, she cut 15 forgettable singles in a sweet-little-girl voice. Then, in late 1965, shortly after her four-year marriage to Singer Tommy Sands ended in divorce, she turned her career over to Songwriter Lee Hazlewood.

Scored in a rich, late-romantic idiom, its bursts of sweetness are coated with vinegar, its drawn-out lines of resignation elevated by a faith in the enduring human spirit...
...change their ways. Moving boldly into a field that has belonged almost exclusively to pawnbrokers and loan sharks, who charge 30% to 100% interest, the Milan-based Banca d'America e d'ltalia, a subsidiary of the U.S. Bank of America, set up a small-loan program late in 1965. Its slogan: "Anyone who works can have credit." The cost of that credit is only 6% discount a year. And where loan sharks demand heavy collateral, the bank, for its one-year loans of up to $1,600, asks only for proof that the borrower...
