...once-over-lightly man who hovers at ease between two worlds. Though he has lived in the U.S. since the late 1930s and became a U.S. citizen in 1941, he has resisted total Americanization, and maintains a reasonable facsimile of a British stiff upper lip. He has lost much of his Brit ish accent, but then it is not American either; it has been dubbed a "NATO accent." Always keeping an eye cocked for"what's American in America," he brings an outsider's enthusiasm to the U.S. scene, putting old landmarks in a new light...
...made only 21 weeks before his death, Dock of the Bay. Surprisingly, Dock of the Bay is restful and reflective, whereas previous songs, like Shake and Try a Little Tenderness, were exuberant, even ecstatic. But it is no less authentically soulful, and its ironic air of premonition is not lost on the kids, either...
Keeping close watch on costs and profits, the big agencies have learned to roll with one of the biggest blows in advertising-the loss of clients. Doyle Dane Bernbach, one of the top ten, last year lost seven clients, including Broxodent Tooth Brushes, Ocean Spray Cranberries, Rheingold Beer and Warner Bros.

The net gain in billings was $10 million and DDB scarcely stopped to worry. Says Foote, Cone & Belding's Founder, Fairfax Cone...
...Olympic lost money at first, but Onassis has since built it into a flourishing carrier. Meanwhile, he has twice persuaded the Greek government to extend his original 20-year concession, first to 1986 and then to 2006. To Niarchos, that was too much. In a formal appeal, he argued that the extension beyond 1986 should have been open to fresh bidding. Last week Greece's highest tribunal rejected Niarchos' appeal. "There is no proof," said the Council of State, "that the petitioner will preserve his interest to take over the concession at that distant date." Of course, there...
Bowman's complex act parallels that of the australopithicus: his use of the pod ejector to re-enter the craft was improvisational, the mechanism undoubtedly designed for a different purpose--this referring to the use of bone as weapon-tool. Finally in committing murder, Bowman has essentially lost his dehumanization and become an archetypal new being: one worthy of the transcendental experience that follows. For the last part of the film, we must assume Bowman an individual by virtue of his improvised triumph over the complex computer...
