LEAVING OUT ANY of the undercurrents of unrest that were present in the country, we are supposed to see, in our ignorance, that the '50s were bliss. But if you simply look at some of the stranger, not-so-cutsey offbeat things that were occuring in this country, you can see that these undercurrents were very strong, heralding whirlpools ahead. One of the best examples of this is the strange phenomenon of James Dean. Dean, who has survived in a few cryptic songs and three movies, does not seem to have made of an impact on the collective memory...
...worth $1 billion. And the balance of power in the U.S. (or in the world) is not about to shift so drastically that women will very soon be earning income and contributing to colleges and universities on a par with men. Still, the writing on the wall remains. If present and future Radcliffe students identify themselves with Radcliffe, it means a loss for Harvard and a gain for Radcliffe. In that sense, it is to Harvard's advantage to play down Radcliffe...

That means IBM shares will pay about the same yield-roughly 5%-as a bank savings account...
...with any romance in his/her soul, would present a loved one with a stove? Better a filmy negligee or even a velour shirt (both went well this winter). Better yet, a Fendi sable coat (Bergdorf's catalogue sold three at $18,500 apiece), a $500 cashmere robe or any ornament made of gold, the invaluable metal that fetched some $220 an ounce on the London market last week. Tiny gold pendants in the shape of oil barrels went for $850 and solid gold nuggets for $950. Tiffany's diamond-studded gold watch was a bargain. Its price...
