Somewhat surprised that he does not even sketch from life any longer, Diebenkorn is still searching in his painting for that perfect balance of freedom and license. He explains, "Somehow, if you can put a shape, a space, a color anywhere, that's not good. And yet if it has to go just here so specifically because of things like gravity and time of day and source of light, that gets to be a drag...
...really very much like a woman. One day, you have to be very gentle. The next, you may have to give it a good thrashing. But the worst thing that can happen is to let it control you. When that happens, you're no longer a driver-you're just a passenger." So far, Stewart has shown that he knows just when to coax his high-strung lady, and when to coddle...
...sheer efficiency of the new planes sent airline stocks soaring - in some cases more than 1,000%. "Many a house was built on the profits that people made from 1961 through 1966 in their airline investments," says Bache & Co. Analyst Henry Siegel.

The drop is accelerating: the index of air stocks fell by a startling 11% in five trading days two weeks ago and again...

...sales will be affected by an advertising fadeout on the air waves. In Britain, where cigarette ads were banned from TV in 1965, sales dipped at first, then recovered and went to new highs. In the U.S., per capita sales began declining last year, partly because young sters no longer feel the social need to smoke. They have been increasingly concerned about the health hazards, particularly since mid-1967, when the networks were forced to air antismoking commercials on TV. Indeed, the tobaccomen's decision to turn off their tremendously expensive and competitive TV campaigns may well have been...
