...rule the Soviet Union, Communist Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev and President Nikolai Podgorny, flew into Warsaw last week for an emergency conference. Their troika partner, Aleksei Kosygin, cut short a state visit to Sweden to join them there for talks with party leaders from Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria and East Germany. The Communist summit, the third of its kind in four months, was the Soviet response to the onrush of reform in Czechoslovakia, and its convening was the climax of a week of ominous moves against the Czechoslovaks. It was also proof of an increasingly apparent fact: however tolerant...
...lighting changes, suggestions of a lion's head appear; and shortly some slinky jazz with a perky clarinet over a tonic-dominant ostinato ushers in the Lion (Ted Graeber) with a lioness (Jane Farnol). The two animals perform a semidance pantomime, until the Lion gets rid of his partner. Shaw's script calls for no lioness, but this seems a quite acceptable bit of directorial padding.

...Paris. "But tennis is like alcohol once it gets in your bloodstream," said Sargent Shriver, 52, U.S. Ambassador to France, and there he was at Wimbledon competing in the Veterans' Gentlemen's Doubles.

Van Vechten Burger, managing partner of Manhattan's Pershing & Co., testified that his firm routinely handles stock orders from mutual funds for only 25% of the fee set by the Big Board, passes on 75% to other exchange members. Last year, he said, Pershing thus surrendered some $6.9 million of its $9.7 million take from mutual-fund and other institutional trading. Michael J. Heaney, a floor partner at the American...
...long streak of low profits-and was rebuffed. Stockholders of Los Angeles-based MSL Industries Inc., with $116 million per year in sales of everything from industrial fasteners to electronic components, rebelled at fusing their young manufacturing company with a troubled old retailer. Last week Brooker found another possible partner, and this time his prospects looked a lot brighter...
