While Kennedy cannonballed, McCarthy's campaign seemed to be suffering from what he likes to call "acedia" -spiritual torpor. He displayed perhaps his best form of the week when he joined a pepper game with reporters outside a Muncie Westinghouse plant and poled three line drives practically out of the factory grounds. More than normally disorganized, McCarthy appeared late for speeches, found his audience sparse and unresponsive. Part of the problem was financial. Though he does not lack for potential campaign contributors, the Minnesotan's nonchalance in seeking funds has left his forces with $100,000 in debts...
Spreading Out. After 19 years of building almost entirely in Southern California (20,000 homes, 5,000 apartments, 52 mobile home parks), Watt has expanded swiftly since joining Boise Cascade in 1966. President Ray A. Watt, 48, a former Douglas Aircraft plant official, has doubled his executive team to a total of 16 men, started several new projects in Northern California, and spread out to Seattle.

His Baccara was the first rose to last for a week after cutting, claims Alain Meilland, but in some recent tests...

Harvard apparently justified the transfer of the press on the grounds that they were about to publish John Eliot's translation of the Bible into Algonquin. (The Eliot translation of the Bible--Mamusse Wunneetupana-tamwe Up-Biblum God--came out in 1663. Scholars are not sure there were any Indians who could have understood...
...time, Ben Sack was primarily involved with a copper and smelting plant. In 1949, he was again offered the chance to invest in a movie house. Again he accepted. This time it looked even rougher. The theatre, which had to be refurbished and reopened, was located in Fitchburg, a factory town of 43,000. It had only one competitor, an already successful operation right next door. Within a year and three months, Sack's group bought out the neighboring opposition. It had been owned by Joseph P. Kennedy...
