Kiotsuke! The Japanese drill sergeant called his platoon to attention so earnestly that his voice broke and the whole outfit burst into laughter. There was nothing for the sergeant to do but grin and bear it. For this was no ordinary bunch of boots, supposed to tremble at a drill instructor's every whim. The 70 young men in ill-fitting fatigues who stumbled through close-order drill at an army camp near Tokyo were all employees of the Tokyo Mutual Life Insurance Co. Their Taiken Nyu-tai (draft experience) was scheduled to last exactly three days...
I.M.C. is a small outfit ($299 million net sales in 1966) compared to some of its competitors in Madrid, but it offered the most experienced fertilizer-producing and marketing network that was available. The firm has mined phosphates in Florida since the early 1900s, is a partner in a phosphate mine in Senegal, West Africa, has a large share of a $70 million Indian phosphate-fertilizer plant scheduled to begin production this summer.

She sees the midi as "a great outfit with boots and winter coats and a charming new look for evening," a change of pace from today's popular caftans and hostess pajamas. "It is very possible that skirts will drop during the next few seasons," says Dior's Marc Bohan, but adds: "The change will...
...funny lines occur in Woody Allen's and, to a much lesser extent, Peter Seller's scenes. About to be shot down by a firing squad, Allen--as Sir James Bond's nephew Jimmy Bond--protests, "I have a low threshold of death." Sellers, being fitted for a spy outfit, is asked, "Which side do you dress?" and he answers, "Away from the window, usually." But since the scenes without these two are so repulsively unfunny, one is led to believe both Sellers and Allen did a good lot of improvising. Particularly Allen, whose entire performance resembles...
