...Youth Movement. Despite their adventurous outlook, all of the top men in Lehman's baroquely ornamented eleven-story headquarters at No. 1 William Street, a discreet short block away from Manhattan's Wall Street, are well past today's popular business retirement age. The presiding patriarch, Robert ("Bobby") Lehman, spare and spry at 73, controls the major part of the firm's capital, operates out of a jewel-box-sized office with just enough wall space for six small paintings from his $100 million private collection.* Though he concentrates on picking promising youthful talent, Lehman...

In FORTUNE last month, Manhattan Architect Philip Johnson, a onetime disciple, had said: "This is still a period of disintegration in all the arts.

Paul, when he set up an advisory Synod of Bishops, also gave positive meaning to the concept of collegiality enunciated by the council. In pursuit of Christian unity, Paul and Patriarch Athenagoras of Constantinople last week issued a joint statement deploring the mutual excommunications that Roman Catholic and Orthodox leaders had hurled at each other in 1054. Within months, it is expected that Paul will announce changes in Catholic discipline, such as a relaxation of the rules against mixed marriages and abolition of the compulsory Friday abstinence from meat...
