...happiness." At week's end Quill was released from Bellevue Hospital and entered a private hospital, a sad and feckless parody of the youth who fought in the Irish rebellion. Worse still, he demonstrated for all to see the sad internal state of his union (no strike benefits, modest treasury) and showed how unconcerned its members were for the lives and welfare of some 8,000,000 New Yorkers...
...solution would obviously be for a Cincinnati player to win the car. Oscar Robertson, who already has both a 1965 Cadillac and a 1966 Olds Toronado, was the logical candidate, but he had an unaccountably bad night, scoring just 17 points-14 below his average. With Robertson's modest defection, there seemed to be no way to keep Philadelphia's Wilt Chamberlain from winning the Ford-although he needed it less than anybody else, since he owns a $24,000 Bentley-and can't get into a Volkswagen. At 7 ft. 2 in., Chamberlain was just...
...Transit Board upped the pressure on the union at week's end by asking the courts for a $322,000-a-day retroactive fine against the T.W.U., whose total treasury is so modest (less than $1,000,000) that it does not even pay its union members strike benefits.

At 32, Barry can afford to be so disarmingly modest about his work. Since boarding the Bondwagon three years ago with Dr. No, he has become one of the most successful composers writing for films today. In the past year, his scores have accompanied an impressive flock of first-rate films, among them Séance on a Wet Afternoon, King Rat, The Knack and The Ipcress File. The LP version of Thunderball, released only a few weeks...
...this wage amounts to about $6200 a year, which is not exactly a lavish sum on which to bring up a family in New York City. It is, in fact, below the level of "modest but adequate" budget for a family of four set by the Labor Department. Persons who are worried about the impediments to social mobility in this country ought to be able to see that it is not all that easy for a man with a $6200 income to send several children to college. Just because there are other people who ought to be making more money...
