Cleverly camouflaged by Vincent Price's remarkable singing voice (which Who's Who sees fit to label "baritone"), the score to Married Alive is a tolerable item. But Jule Styne and E. Y. Harburg, who wrote it, should be capable of better. Harburg's lyrics pale beside Jamaica; for the creator of Finian's Rainbow, they are pure embarrassment. Styne's music is enough to make one suspicious of the authorship of Gypsy and Funny Girl...
...scenes in converting it to musical comedy. It isn't enough. Though Holy Matrimony was a charming comedy, its success is in retrospect attributable to the genius of its star, Monty Woolley. In the same role--that of England's foremost turn-of-the-century painter, Priam Farll--Vincent Price falls completely flat and pulls the show down with...
...economy can inflict much damage on neighbors. Because West Germany's recession led to a sharp drop in imports and a surge of exports, both Belgium and The Netherlands suffered payments deficits in 1966, rebounding last year only after German business picked up again. Italy paid a heavy price in unemployment and bankruptcies to achieve a payments surplus starting in 1964.

The industry's profit problems battered the price of airline stocks last year as institutions unloaded major holdings.

TWA shares dropped from...
...Water Authority Member (and Islip Republican Party Leader) Edward McGowan's firm bought the land, the authority changed its mind and approved its rezoning for manufacturing. McGowan sold the tract for a $167,000 profit. The scandal reached even to Newsday's doorstep. Its Suffolk editor, Kirk Price, who died last March, made $33,000 by a sale of land that he had bought for $50. He was assisted by the ubiquitous Kuss, who saw to it that a four-lane highway was routed past the property to enhance its value, and who arranged for a buyer. Said...
