...news good or bad, Wall Street seldom quivers twice over it. Last week the stock market not only shrugged off the anticipated drop in first-quarter corporate profits but sprinted to a new peak for 1967.

From its founding in 1960, YAF grew to a peak in grassroot support during the Goldwater-Johnson campaign of 1964. Since then, YAF has probably been best known for its efforts in behalf of the administration's Vietnam policy -- demonstrations of support for various escalations toward a "military victory," blood donations, Christmas packages for the troops, and so forth...
...early triumphs in Europe before going home in 1906 to debut at the Met, where she reigned for 16 years of tumultuous adulation through 493 performances in 30 roles, blending her vibrant voice with Caruso's celebrated tenor, before suddenly retiring in 1922 at the peak of her career; of a heart attack; in Ridgefield, Conn...
