There is the official mail- handled by an office on Park Avenue, staffed by eight letter answerers. And there is the fine-mesh social screening to keep out the good-cause riders and the self-promoters, and let through the people who are interesting and amusing and attractive and can be counted on not to take advantage. This screening process is the job of her inner circle, presided over by her younger sister and closest friend, Lee Radziwill...
Drowned in Data. More than anything else, Raborn made use of a then-obscure management system known as PERT (for Program Evaluation Review Technique). Using PERT, Raborn set precise timetables for each phase of the enormously complicated program, thus assured that everything would mesh without time-wasting gaps or overlaps in the schedule. He papered the walls of his office with flow charts indicating the progress of every major phase of the Polaris program -the missile, the sub, the navigational and fire-control systems, training of the crew, securing of overseas bases, establishment of communications relays.

Few of the plans involve improvements in service for hapless passengers. The only solution there, as far as most railroadmen are concerned, is to take them off the trains altogether...
...really in, or way way out? There sat Britain's Princess Margaret, 34, at a rehearsal of the Royal Ballet School's Prince Igor, showing quite a bit of black mesh stockings all acrawl with dozens of artificial beetles. Bug beetles, with two e's, if you please. "The Royal Family in kinky"-meaning nonconformist-"stockings at last," chirped the London Sun's Fashion Writer Jean Rook, who then swatted: "Are Margaret's new, or were they hidden away in her bottom drawer?" They cost only 6s. 11d., continued the ruthless Rook, and while they...
