...Communism and world poverty are not the nation's greatest perils, he said. "The greatest threats are from a decline in moral character, personal responsibility, family life and religion-the things on which American life are based." His speeches were mostly well received, even at the Trunk 'n' Tusk Club in Phoenix, where many Arizona elephants cannot forget his refusal to support Barry Goldwater...

She did right-and made plenty money. The intervening years have brought her smash-hit records (Lover, Fever), success as a songwriter (Mañana, It's a Good Day), an Academy Award nomination as an actress (Pete Kelly's Blues), ardent fans (ranging from Duke Ellington to Rudolf Nureyev), and top nightclub engagements at $25,000 a week.

The "if" was that the Norfolk & Western, which wants to hold off acquisition of the three until it has merged with the C. & O.-B. & O., has 15 days to appeal to the Supreme Court. N. & W. President Herman Pevler was noncommittal last week, but his railroad will probably appeal.
