...points out that in addition to any profit, "each time one of our films is mentioned anywhere in the world, it is identified as a Brut production; you get a great deal back in hidden advertising." The new film division has also helped bring out one of the lesser-known talents of Fabergé President George Barrie, a former saxophone player who won a screen credit in A Touch of Class as a composer of the musical score...
...mood. Corporate profits are expected to rise 23% this year above those in 1972. That anticipation would normally set brokerage houses afire with buy orders, but stock prices have sagged even more than the Dow Jones industrial average of 30 blue chips indicates; it is no trick to find lesser-known stocks whose value has been cut in half so far this year.

...great-uncle and adoptive father, Julius Caesar, has had a far better press: well-publicized conquests, a dramatic assassination, a sympathetic portrait by one William Shakespeare. Yet historians generally agree that Caesar's lesser-known nephew and heir, Gaius Octavius Caesar-later to be called Augustus-was in many ways a greater man. His conquests endured longer than those of Napoleon and Alexander; the imperial system he painfully built took five centuries to decay; the Pax Romana he warred to achieve was one of the longest periods of relative peace that history has ever known. The man himself, however...
