...venturesome, Wall Street is a magnet. Its elite law firms typically pick only ten or twelve men a year, work them mercilessly, and pay $7,800 to start. Those who survive may become $35,000-a-year junior partners in ten years. Starting pay is about the same in such cities as Chicago, Atlanta and San Francisco, but rises more slowly. Some Los Angeles law firms are recruiting with promises of $20,000-a-year junior partnerships in three or four years. On Wall Street, brokerage houses pay less than law firms, generally $6,000 for beginners; salaries normally rise...

It was perhaps the most cogent argument yet offered...

...Chrysler Art Museum, only to have it drop with a clang. The second, also a space-age motif, resembles the hollow cone of a missile. Inside, visible from both ends, are two metallic spheres, one hanging down like a tiny bathysphere on its nylon thread, and by its magnet attracting the magnet in another sphere that levitates upward, tethered by a thread. Each open end of the sculpture gives out a sound like a giant sea shell humming with the rhythm of breakers.
