EDMUND MUSKIE. As yet, no millionaire industrialists or oilmen have primed Muskie's campaign pump. There are in his camp a number of $10,000-and-under givers, among them Norman Cousins, who resigned last week as editor of the Saturday Review; Martin Stone, board chairman of Monogram Industries; and Sumner Redstone, president of Northeast Theater Corp.

But somehow the oversized part continued to elude the outsized Wayne. The first picture he made for Monogram literally took place in a one-horse town; the budget did not allow for any more livestock...
Once, all a girl needed to get a monogram was a first and last name. Today, it is likely to cost her as much as $30 (imprinted on a scarf) to $475 (on luggage), and the initials aren't even...
