...records around New England for Capitol. At RSO, Coury is given his head ("Robert's always on a boat somewhere. He says the L.A. smog affects his breathing"). Coury plunges into all areas of the biz. He engineers marketing strategy, designs ad campaigns, even pitches in on planning those mammoth Sunset Strip billboards, which are for the music indus try what heraldry was to Camelot. He also brainstorms with the talent, helping art ists choose material. Singer Yvonne Elliman calls him "the man with the golden ears -the best in the business at picking singles." Coury says...
Staging a mammoth convention is as much an exercise in diplomacy as logistics. Telephone operators, bellmen and maids were given lists of VIPS' names. Since the Hilton could accommodate only 2,400 of the delegates, the less important visitors had to be discreetly dispersed among other nearby first-class hotels. A.T.A. staffers spent 250 hours compiling 2-in. by 4-in. index cards with information on each member and each supplier, his company, even his wife.

In Cambridge, for instance, the shift would amount to $8.6 million--and the average tax bill on a single-family home would jump from the present $1931 to over $3000. In Boston, the bill would increase from...
Bucky Dent, the starting shortstop whose play has tested the loyalty of many a Yankee fan, coupled his bat with less-than-graceful Lou Piniella's glove to form one mammoth unsung hero for New York. Dent's three-run homer in the seventh that put the Yankees ahead silenced a too-cocky-for-such-a-close-game Fenway crowd, while Piniella's defensive efforts in Glaucoma Country (sundrenched right field) enabled the lead to hold...
...increasingly more organized unions of news and editorial writers. Just as in other industries, centralization of newspaper ownership has led employees to heightened awareness of their own vulnerability. But so far, these unions have failed to realize their promise. The news reporters and editorial writers belong to a mammoth newspaper guild that covers linotype operators, want-ad salesmen, shop foremen, etc. Consequently, the union deals strictly with what its various members have in common such as health benefits, vacation time automatic pay increases, and other work issues that have traditionally concerned labor unions...
