...paterfamilias, director and centrifugal force of The Family is Marvin Camillo, 36, a dark, mustachioed man inclined to high-riser blue shoes and flowered shirts, whom his company -not entirely jokingly-call "Poncho God." Camillo, one of the few members of The Family who is not an ex-convict, is a veteran actor who grew up in the Newark ghetto, where "I spent my life avoiding situations that would get me into prison." In 1971 Camillo did go to Sing Sing, however, to help with a prisoners' theater workshop. A year later he opened his own workshop...
...Early Riser. What qualifies Gray to head the FBI? The son of a railroad worker, Gray grew up in a closely knit family that moved from St. Louis to Houston.

Good common sense dictates that we take a hard look at that situation and put aside...
Food was the fastest riser in September's index. The second largest jump occurred in women's apparel, partly because, in addition to its other disadvantages, the midi is expensive. Presidential Economic Adviser Paul McCracken took some comfort in reporting that the rate of rise in the consumer price index has declined slightly quarter to quarter, despite the September increase. On the other hand, the more comprehensive price index, the so-called G.N.P. deflator, rose from the second quarter to the third quarter...
...Early Riser. Though De Gaulle resolutely refuses all requests for interviews, TIME Correspondent William Rademaekers pieced together an account of his present activities. Colombey gossips and sentimental Gaullist supporters in Paris are in agreement on one respect of De Gaulle's life: he is deeply engrossed in writing his memoirs, and gives little thought to the daily problems of France or to his successor. Last month the first result of his labors was published: Messages and Speeches 1940-1946, a 665-page compilation of his addresses during the war years. The general has also completed the first...
