Gory Camp. Humor is no detriment at all to the third and best play of the triad. An epicene author named Kayo Hathaway (William Young), sleek as a snake and wicked as a weasel, has made a million by turning out reams of gory camp about a Commie-hating little old lady in sneakers and her homicidal gorilla of a son. Granting an interview to a worshipful young fan (Matthew Cowles), Hathaway utters the pomposity: "You get what you give."

After 24 composers-including Igor Stravinsky, Pierre Boulez and Karlheinz Stockhausen-had signed a petition on his behalf, Yun was allowed to resume composing behind bars. The Bonn government, angered by Seoul's cloak-and-dagger tactics on German soil, threatened to suspend its $25 million program of economic aid.

New York Telephone had difficulty finding takers for a $150 million issue yielding 7.47%. New York's Consolidated Edison had to pay a record 7.9% on an issue of $80 million of construction bonds. Many treasurers are turning away from bonds altogether, reasoning that it is better to pay 9% or so for a two-year bank loan than...
