What should be a time to savor the satisfaction of having completed months, even years of solitary work turns into an odyssey of bad food, jet lag, little sleep and the sort of snafus that used to be found in Olsen and Johnson movies. Peter Maas (King of the Gypsies) ran into a familiar problem when pushing an earlier book, Valachi Papers: he was on time for an autograph session but his books were not. A complaint to his publishers brought promises of action. Indeed, a stack of his books awaited...
Those beefy chorines in numbered jerseys are really Los Angeles Rams Cody Jones, Fred Dryer, Bob Klein, Merlin Olsen, Larry Brooks, Tom Mack, Bill Nelson and Jack Youngblood.

In a recent study sponsored by Washington's Brookings Institution, Harvard's James Duesenberry and two other economists derided "Cassandras" who are forecasting a shortage and concluded that "we can afford the future, but just barely." The Duesenberry study contends that Government can be counted upon to come to the rescue: by running...
Raymond Jallow, senior vice president of the United California Bank, calculates that the turn-around came in May and the recovery will be "gradual but not fantastic." Leif Olsen, senior vice president of New York's First National City Bank, is still uncertain whether the rebound has begun, "but it may have happened in June."
