...Russell has no intrinsic rationale for his boned-up effects. It's pure Hollywood chi-chi. The movie lasted less than a week in Boston. Consider for example a scene of Sophie and Henri husting stones by the seashore. He scales a lower of white rock, and straddling he peak, black cape whipping in the winds, he cuts a lone prophet figure against a clear sea; meanwhile the dances out her care-free spiritual applause on the sand, crying. "It will be a hymn to Truth and Beauty!" Or take the ending of the film: Gaudier-Brzeska's last unsculpted...
...Then on Tuesday the rally exploded, and it proved worth waiting for. In four days of heavy trading, with volume averaging 20 million shares daily, the Dow Jones industrial average vaulted 38 points to a close of 984. That was ten points above the year's previous peak and the highest level since December 1968-just after Richard Nixon was first elected. Last week many happy Republicans were loading up with stock in anticipation of a Nixon landslide. Small investors, who have been out of the market for a long time, also did much of the buying.

...important in a time when Nixon's popularity is at a peak to demonstrate that considerable opposition to his policies still exists. But simple demonstration is not enough.

...Rockettes, a magic show, an occasional elephant, horses and giant fountain displays. While Rockefeller Center, which owns the theater, is now giving it a $1,000,000 annual subsidy, the money does not make up for a marked drop in attendance over the last two decades. In its peak years in the '40s, the Music Hall attracted 12 million visitors a year, a number which had fallen off to 5,000,000 by 1969 and is now down to 4,000,000. Though the lines outside the box office can still stretch as far as three-quarters...
...bankroll their spending, consumers have dipped into their savings. The savings rate dropped from a peak of 8.6% of personal income in the second quarter of 1971 to just over 6% in the third quarter this year, though bankers now sense that it is starting to rise again. An unprecedented amount of consumer buying is on the cuff. Consumer credit went up more than $1 billion in each of the last six months tabulated; the rise in August, the latest month reported, tied May's record $1.4 billion. The Bank of America reports its BankAmericard volume running an extra...
