...Connor, an adept at soothing utterances, suggests that it could more accurately be called an "industrial disparity." Whatever the name, Europe shows real enough symptoms of the condition. Everywhere about him, the European sees American products and processes. When a Frankfurt businessman rises in the morning, he may well reach for a Gillette razor blade, Colgate toothpaste, and hair lotion that comes in a bottle made by an Owens-Illinois subsidiary. After he downs his Maxwell instant coffee with Libby condensed milk, his wife, trim in her Lycra stretch bra, kisses him goodbye, leaving only a trace of Revlon lipstick...
...wear anything larger than a size designed for a 12-year-old child. The effect is that old-fashioned look of the sweatered pinup girl, with une petite différence, s'il vous plaît. To fit properly, the long-sleeved mini-Shetlands should not quite reach to the wrists. This summer, the waist was high enough to leave a patch of midriff showing. Now that it is winter, the style is long and sometimes belted; the naked visibility gap exists only while the wearer is doing the boogaloo...
Thinking Big. Even the small schools are thinking big. California's six Claremont Colleges, with just 4,100 students, have a 1972 target of $86 million, and $35 million is already in hand.

Umrath, a retired cash-register salesman, rang up the switchboard operator at St. Louis' Washington University one Saturday morning and told her that he wanted to give the university $1,000,000. Some-what dubious, the operator tried in vain to reach Chancellor Thomas H. Eliot, got no answers from several other officials. Umrath was just about to hang up when she finally connected him with the dean of the college of liberal arts. "I want to give a million dollars and there's nobody to talk to me," Umrath complained...
...Supreme Court this week will begin to ponder the most significant railroad case to reach it since Teddy Roosevelt 65 years ago successfully fought J. P. Morgan and James J. Hill by contesting what has come to be called the Great Northern case. The question before the Justices: whether, and on what terms, to approve the merger of the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central into a $6 billion line stretching over 20,000 miles of track that would represent the largest private rail system in the world. By coincidence, the week also marks the fifth anniversary...
