...stalemate when both firms tried to merge with Meier & Frank. Broadway-Hale will open its 29th store, an $8,000,000 building, next month in the Los Angeles suburb of Downey. It has 14 other projects in the works, including an expansion in Phoenix that will push Broadway-Hale ahead of its Arizona competitors and new stores in Reno and Las Vegas that will make the company Nevada's largest retailer...

His hallmark is a jumpy, free-association style of editing, and The Knack is made up of very short scenes like blackout sketches and several longer set pieces (such as the already-famous one in which Colin, Tom, and Nancy push, paddle, and ride a Victorian wrought-iron bed through London).

Last week, in his first journey abroad as Treasury Secretary, he jetted through the major capitals of Europe in an effort to push that meeting and to sell the idea of reform to the men who manage Europe's money. Accompanied by a distinguished delegation that included Under Secretary of State George Ball and Under Secretary of the Treasury Fred Deming, Fowler hoped to determine what practical steps can be taken next toward...
