...report dealt a devastating and possibly fatal blow to Beame's primary chances. Most of his rivals quickly jumped on the mayor. Said Koch: "Beame was running the city like a second-class candy store." Typically low-keyed, Cuomo called it "sad" that Beame's lengthy civic career should culminate in such charges...
Nonetheless, Taiwan's lobbying effort in the U.S. has remained relatively low key. Taiwan supporters have pushed hard to get city councils and state legislatures to pass resolutions opposing the establishment of full relations with Peking "at the expense of Taiwan's interests" (21 legislatures have done so). Officials in the Taiwanese port of Kaohsiung got their counterparts in Plains, Ga., to join in a sister-city declaration of friendship, and extended a come-visit invitation to Miss Lillian (she politely declined). In Washington the Koreagate scandal has cooled Taiwan's lobbying. Exchanges of cultural and economic...
...back in January of 1965, the Dow Jones industrials cracked the 900 level for the first time. Since then, the average has been on a roller-coaster ride-dropping as low as 631 in mid-1970, soaring as high as 1052 at the start of 1973.

...corporate activity that the stock market's sag has not discouraged is the big takeover.

...style as much as the songs he sang that made Elvis Presley such an immediate, and ultimately irreplaceable, phenomenon. Initially, it was all a matter of attitude, the low lids, the lip that curled up like a whitecap before breaking on the beach, the musky voice that seemed to take its honey coating from a lot of scruffy worldliness and its distinct throb from straight below the waist. His first appearances were small Pop cataclysms. The sensuous movements that headline writers called "gyrations" and that earned Presley nicknames he did not like-Swivel Hips, the Pelvis-had their roots...
