...article "Trade-Can the U.S. Still Compete?" [May 10], you did not mention one very important reason why imports into the U.S. are rising at such a stupendous pace: shoddily made American products. Not only are imports often much lower in price, but in many cases they are of a quality that is unrivaled by the U.S. We bought a Japanese car that is one of the finest built vehicles I have seen, and gets 31 miles to the gallon of gasoline. This can be repeated in tape recorders, optical goods and many more items. U.S. industry and labor have...
...Parke-Bernet Galleries, "we now come to the Krupp diamond"-a flawless, 33.19-carat blue-white stone once given by German Industrialist Baron Alfried Krupp to his wife Vera, and considered one of the world's great gems. $100,000, commenced the auctioneer, and up shot the price. $150,000 . . . $175,000 . . . $225,000. At $300,000, even Jeweler Harry Winston, who had long coveted the stone, was forced to drop out. Winning bid: $305,000. The determined purchaser: Richard Burton, who sent his agents to snap it up for Wife Elizabeth Taylor because he fancies slipping a little...
...S.D.S. radicals seem willing to pay the price of their convictions. Unlike Yale Chaplain William Sloane Coffin Jr., a 43-year-old rebel who is willing to go to jail to dramatize his opposition to the draft and the Viet Nam war, Columbia's student strike leaders are demanding, among other things, total amnesty for violating the law. There is the irony that neither Mark Rudd nor most of the other Columbia S.D.S. leaders were even in occupied buildings during the battle with police three weeks ago. Thus they were not among those arrested on criminal-trespass charges...
...abrupt about-face, CIGA plans to reach for the equally profitable middle-price, room-number trade. In partnership with Alitalia and an Italian holding company, it is getting ready to build a chain of 800-bed modern "Aerhotels." "They will have all the American internal fittings," says Managing Director Giorgio Campione, "including ice water and paper-wrapped glasses." The first two Aerhotels are to be opened in Milan and Rome...
...Dogs, Old Tricks. Miller's latest play, The Price, is a problem drama calcified in the technique and mentality of the late 1930s. Underlying all of Miller's thought is the conviction that if society is changed, man is redemptively altered and restored to respect, purpose and value. But the catastrophic events of 20th century history have shattered the presumptions of the problem play. Man's ineradicable genius for evil has reduced the doctrine of social engineering to puny tinkering. Playwrights like Beckett, lonesco and Genet have abandoned admonitory Ibsenite finger-waving for a nerve-shattering look...
