...successor, the National Gallery's trustees named the candidate that Walker had groomed for the job, J. (for John) Carter Brown, the gallery's second in command since 1961. At 34, he becomes the youngest director of a major museum in the U.S. Scion of the rich Rhode Island Browns (his grandfather founded Brown University and his parents are both well-known collectors), the new director is also a Harvard man and latter-day student of Berenson's.

The annual commitment rate to state mental hospitals from San Francisco, for example, has dropped from 2,887 to 119 in the past four years-a decline in which the city's expanding complex of emergency-treatment centers was a major factor.

That, said Frederickson, might help dissuade the 4,000 young Americans who begin...
...Thrift but Profit." He might also have pointed out that profits revolve in a self-regenerating cycle, providing the impetus for new and expanded ventures, which in turn crank out more profits. When earnings are high, employers can afford to be generous with pay raises. Profits are also the major force that sends the stock market up-or, in their absence, down.
