...people who are committed to live in the cities with a second home outdoors." Self (women's self-improvement) is yet to come; so is Savvy (for women executives), but already there are Kosher Home and, for doctors' wives, Medical/ Mrs. ("A Steak that Holds at Rare for Three Hours"). Then there is the newsweekly Seven Days ("the magazine which is on your side") and the environment-minded Mother Jones ("for the rest of us"). In trying to reach freespending 18-to 34-year-olds, the New York Times (imagine this, Adolph Ochs!) ballyhoos Us, an imitation...
Walter Wriston, probably the nation's most influential banker, thinks he has some answers. As chairman of New York's Citicorp, he is a gilt-edged Establishmentarian who gets an insider's rare look at loan-seeking corporations and bends elbows with their chiefs at the Metropolitan Club and the Greenbrier and the Business Roundtable. Yes, says Wriston, business should be strong both in 1978 and 1979, which is as far as anybody can foresee.

An especially exciting prospect is an upcoming retrospective exhibition in Madrid, to be opened by King Juan Carlos. It will mean that after 40 years of Franco...

Balanchine's bird was intended as just that, a pure figure of form and movement. The production was a rare Balanchine stumble. Critics blamed him, not his pupil...
...students, an increase of 25% in five years. But that is no big deal: the schools run by the San Francisco Ballet (587 students), the Minnesota Dance Theater (950) and the Ballet West in Salt Lake City (1,000) have doubled in size. Male students, once rare, are becoming more common. Says Charles Fischl, general manager of the Atlanta Ballet: "Americans are more interested in motion and fitness. Ballet is grueling, and people have always admired athletic ability." The success of the film The Turning Point will doubtless bring more recruits; one Chicago school reported a 25% rise in applications...
