PLANET OF THE APES. This science-fiction film represents the expenditure of $1.000,000 to make Maurice Evans look like an orangutan, Kim Hunter and Roddy Mc-Dowall look like chimpanzees, a large cast look like other assorted members of the monkey family, and Charlton Heston look like an astronaut...
...least 12.6 million Americans have reached voting age, and Bobby once laid claim to a large percentage of them. "Kennedy thinks that American youth belongs to him as the bequest of his brother," noted ardently pro-McCarthy Columnist Mary McGrory. "Seeing the romance flower between them and Mc Carthy, he moved with the ruthlessness of a Victorian father whose daughter has fallen in love with a dustman." McCarthy was not about to submit meekly.

Died. Rear Admiral Bruce McCandless, 56, Congressional Medal of Honor winner in World War II; of multiple sclerosis; in Washington, D.C.

Under this voluntary program, 625 U.S. corporations, including Jersey Standard, are making "special efforts" to repatriate income from abroad more rapidly and to borrow more money abroad...
...chances for a tax increase in 1967 finally died when Mills pressed Federal Reserve Board Chairman William Mc-Chesney Martin at a late November hearing. "Your line of questioning," remarked Martin, "indicates clearly that the economy is not too boomy at the moment." Snorted Mills: "Not too booming? It is just not booming at all!" Conceded Martin: "All right, it is not booming." With that, and the prospect that recent spending cuts will begin to shrink the huge federal deficit, many economists see considerably less reason than hitherto for a tax increase in election-year 1968. And a growing number...
