Holy hatrack! Batman is moving into the retail trade. Television's terrible, twice-weekly Batman series is intended as camp-meaning it's so bad that it's good, at least in the view of some (TIME, Jan. 28).

Rothschild & Sons of a consortium of 68 international banking concerns, Lehman will put on sale...
...executives think is an ideal testing ground. The population of Arlington Heights has quadrupled in the past 15 years to 44,100, four times the average rate of increase in Chicago's suburbs. Almost half its largely white-collar families earn an income of more than $10,000; retail trade has increased 206% from 1954 to 1963. "A dynamic and expanding community needs a daily voice," says Day Editor and Publisher John Stanton, 56, who moved over from managing editor of Field's Chicago Daily News...
