This sort of thing is not necessarily bought by Madison Avenue, let alone by American business. Yet in dealing with their own personnel, many U.S. business firms also act on fairly fanciful assumptions and do their share of amateur psychologizing. A growing number of corporations sponsor a psychological technique known as "sensitivity training." Its goal is to make executives better able to deal with their business peers and underlings, better able to see themselves as others see them...
...quieted down this year, it seemed to Impresario Gino Land! that it would be a shame to waste all those horses, women and gladiators; so he packed them all up and sent them to the U.S. for a multicity tour. Last week Landi's Festa Italiana opened at Madison Square Garden, and much to everybody's surprise, the extravaganza turned out to be a kind of 1st century Hellzapoppin...

If Stokely Carmichael, 25, who first popularized the cry, were not heading S.N.C.C., said N.A.A.C.P. Chief Roy Wilkins on TV's Meet the Press, he "ought to be on Madison Avenue. He is a public relations man par excellence, and he abounds in the provocative phrase." Rather than submit to the philosophy of black power, many moderates, both white and Negro, have left-or been forced from-CORE and S.N.C.C...
