CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is the fourth installment in an apparently endless series of simian science fiction (TIME, June 5). For a while, each chapter (Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Escape from the Planet of the Apes) looked cheaper and more cursory than its predecessor, but thanks to some razzle-dazzle direction by J. Lee Thompson (The Guns of Navarone), and most especially to the superb cinematography of Bruce Surtees, Conquest is the handsomest of the lot. It has the same storybook gusto and bizarre pageantry as the original. The setting is the America...
RICHARD KATTEL, 36, president of Citizens & Southern National Bank, the largest in Georgia, with assets of $2.27 billion. "When I'm in New York, people can't believe I'm president of a big bank," says Kattel. In fact, his longtime predecessor, Mills B. Lane, who spotted Kattel as an up-and-coming executive and named him as his personal assistant in 1966, is still the bank's chairman, though he lets the young president use his own judgment about practically everything. Among other projects, Kattel helped initiate a real estate investment trust that...
Tanaka's accession to power may well mark the end of the reserved and cautious style of national stewardship epitomized by his predecessor, Eisaku Sato, 71. The new Premier's election automatically followed his victory in a hard-fought struggle for leadership of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, whose popularity had eroded in the later years of Sato's 7½-year regime. Sato favored Foreign Minister Takeo Fukuda, 67, for party president and Premier, and the L.D.P.'s brusque rejection of his protege at a convention in downtown Tokyo's big Hibiya Hall last...
...will the new Premier deal with the problems that proved so troublesome for his predecessor? The emphasis on consensus in Japan's politics probably rules out radical departures. Moreover, for all of his talk of action (see box, page 24), Tanaka has no record as an innovator, even though he was one of the first Japanese politicians to recognize the country's environmental problems. He is on record with a proposal to disperse Japan's highly concentrated industries and redistribute the population among new villages and towns. Each would be surrounded by green belts and linked...
Hard to Follow. If Lansner's surrender of the editor's chair was a surprise, so was the selection of his successor: Osborn Elliott, 47, who was also Lansner's predecessor. In 1969, Lansner took charge of the weekly routine, while Elliott assumed the title of editor in chief and later became president as well. As recently as this spring, Elliott moved still deeper into the business side when he became board chairman in an executive reshuffle (TIME, April 10). He will retain the title of chairman and chief executive officer...
