...domestic produce. New York Restaurateur Joseph Santo paid $12,100 for a 55-case collection of French, German and American wines, which until recently was reserved by Manhattan's Carlyle Hotel for the exclusive sipping of visiting Presidents. After the headlining items had been displayed by a brocaded, powder-wigged chamberlain and sold, connoisseurs and individual collectors were able to bid on the less celestial vintages: a case of Château la Gaffelière Naudes 1952, a red Bordeaux, was gaveled down...

The countdown begins. Can the stalwart defuse the bomb in time? The clock eats up seconds...
...sports and car magazines. In the strongest new merchandising drive, tobacco men are stepping up their sponsorship of sports events, hoping both to reach the large crowds that attend and to draw some mentions in printed news reports of the contests. Philip Morris will sponsor, among other things, the Powder Puff derby for women air racers. Reynolds is concentrating on auto races in the South, where winning drivers are culture heroes. For example, the annual race that used to be called the Alabama 500 now will be known as the Winston 500; Reynolds will put up $100,000 for prizes...
