...hole card to play to obtain release of U.S. P.O.W.s. Withdrawal as a result of successful Vietnamization is, according to Nixon, foreseeable in the near future. The much larger gamble involves maintaining the residual force until the American prisoners are released-a maneuver that in a sense amounts to open-end commitment. Except for the P.O.W.s, a total withdrawal by early or mid-1973 would be predictable. In an effort to establish an opening on the P.O.W. question the U.S. last week announced that it would repatriate 540 sick and wounded North Vietnamese prisoners...
...viewer. Author John Fowles, adapting his open-end puzzle of a book, cuts away much of its elegance; but he retains the oscillation between illusion and reality and maintains the mystery to the final frame. Director Guy Green wastes footage on tepid erotic interludes, and some of his Grecian tableaux smack of spring pageants at Vassar. Still, he has a strong sense of place, and he uses the azure skies and limpid Mediterranean to give the story the cast of eternity and overtones of legend-in-the-making. In the final hallucinatory segment, he makes the screen a place...
This week the company spread out into the fastest growing segment of the investment field by filing for Securities and Exchange Commission registration of a $5,000,000 open-end mutual fund, the L. M. Rosenthal Fund. Having bought seats on the American and Boston stock exchanges as well as on the Big Board earlier this year, the company has also moved into stock trading, research and investment advice for large (accounts over $100,000) clients. In the over-the-counter market, it regularly deals in the shares of some 400 companies...
...which sales outran . purchases by $260 million, the funds sided with the bulls, ending the year as net buyers of more than $1 billion in stock. And even though slumping prices trimmed the total value of their holdings by $2.3 billion to $31.2 billion over the year, the open-end funds came through 1966 far better than the market as a whole. The value of all U.S. stocks plunged by 13% to $587.4 billion. But the funds' portfolios dipped only 7%, which left them in fine shape to lead the bargain-hunting charge that, more than anything else...
...Open-End Mission. As it was planned, the flight of Apollo 204 would have tested both the mettle and the technology of the three astronauts beyond anything that men had yet experienced in space. On Feb. 21, the capsule was to be fired off the ground by a Saturn 1-B rocket to go into orbit for as long as Grissom, White and Chaffee could take it, an "open-end" mission that marked a bold departure from the rigidly limited space flights of the past. It was to be essentially an engineering flight, a manned shakedown for the Apollo systems...
