Pine cones. Stock-market quotations. Sunflowers. Classical architecture. Reproduction of bees. Roman poetry. What do they have in common? In one way or another, these and many more creations of nature or works of man all seem to be related to a sequence of numbers named for 13th century Mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci. The earnest mathematics buffs of the California-based Fibonacci Association keep examining the phenomenon. The more they investigate, members insist, the more convinced they become that Fibonacci numbers pervade the world...
...craftsmen of those eras could be seen last week at Sotheby's in London, where 142 objects from the collection of the late Melvin Gutman went on view (see color). Gutman was a strange man. Son of a Wall Street stockbroker, he made a fortune in the stock market, and at the age of 29 conceived a passion for antique jewelry. He never married, and for the last 34 years of his life he never strayed far from his Manhattan apartment. When he died last year at the age of 81, he had amassed an almost unequaled collection...
Where is the reality in all this? Brooks has quit Barbra to become Roz's full-time manager. Roz's first album, Give Me You, is now on the market, with another album and four singles to come under her $100,000 contract. After seeing her do two songs on an Ed Sullivan show last month, the management of the Plaza Hotel's Persian Room signed her up for a three-week stint next winter. One more appearance on the Sullivan show is scheduled this season, and Broadway Producer David Black called Brooks and said he wanted...
What is also at stake is the U.S.'s long domination of the global market for commercial aircraft. Seven out of ten of the transports now in operation, piston or jet, are U.S. built, and have earned billions of dollars in foreign exchange. But such dominance will continue only so long as U.S.-built ships are faster and more efficient than anyone else's. U.S. aviation was in this critical condition once before, when Britain's ill-fated Comet series beat U.S. jets to the skies by nine years. After the Comet tragically failed, the U.S. easily...
...cannot count on similar disasters overtaking both the Concorde and the Soviet SSTs.* Thus for reasons of prestige, employment, technology and high finance (an estimated $12 billion market over the next eight years), the U.S. still seems likely to build an SST. The Concorde, for which airlines have taken 74 "options," will probably reap the first harvest, because it is scheduled to be in service by 1971. Unless Nixon has an unanticipated change of heart, a fair bet is that the U.S. SST will be airborne...
