That inspired train ride has resulted in Corporate Seminars, Inc., a traveling school that instructs puzzled businessmen about the ABCs of mergers and acquisitions. Only one year old, Corporate Seminars has already graduated 700 students, and Colvin expects an enrollment of 2,000 pupils a year very shortly. Last week, following seminars in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and Atlanta, Corporate Seminars held classes in Toronto for Canadian businessmen who have also been hit by the urge to merge...
Radcliffe girls now ride to the hounds at the Millwood Hunt Club in Concord. Before a Cliffie is allowed to ride out she must have trained with the Radcliffe riding program, get the approval of the instructor, and pay $160. This is considered a bargain as "Tom Cabot probably spends $1000 a season." Miss Paget said.

...making an all-out effort to have good design the hallmark of its $1 billion-plus Bay Area Rapid Transit system, now under construction. About one-third of the 75-mile system will be underground, and Market and Mission streets are already being excavated. What San Franciscans will ride in when B.A.R.T. begins operations in 1970 is the latest in trains: streamlined, air-conditioned, 72-passenger cars that will average 50 m.p.h., with bursts up to 80 m.p.h., and will be directed by computers to run as close as 90 seconds apart during peak hours...
