...most newsworthy brand of law practice, trial work, is also for the most part closed to women, with such notable exceptions as the gaudy Gladys Towles Root, currently appearing (in four-foot cartwheel hats and purple dresses) for the defense in the Sinatra kidnaping case. To most men-laymen and lawmen alike-women are physically unfitted for the grueling ordeals of trial work, and emotionally "too kind and forgiving." In reaction to male prejudice, until fairly recently many women attorneys dressed mannishly, cussed like troopers-and thereby forfeited one of their most potent weapons: feminine intuition and charm...
Samant paints the way he plays music: he tries to combine in the present moment all the root wisdom of past experience. "I believe that a great work of art is timeless," he says, and he learned his art by studying the paleolithic cave paintings at Lascaux, Sumerian tablets, and linear Egyptian murals. Prime examples are now on view at Manhattan's World House Galleries. To recapture timelessness in a modern idiom, Samant works spontaneously like an action painter, performing with his passionate pastel colors in such fast-drying media as spackle and plastic wood.

Nevertheless, the student work is impressive. Especially effective are Richard Shift's "Drawing" in pen and ink and Betsy Root's microphotograph, "Chocolate...
...third largest electric company (1963 revenues: $540 million) expects to get from a tax reduction. Commonwealth even sells its customers light bulbs for 150 a dozen. But Ward, who in 27 years at Commonwealth rotated from finance to engineering and sales, is no miracle worker; at the root of all this benevolence is the familiar "cost-price-sales spiral"-as costs drop, prices follow and sales rise. Ward is pushing cost economy with such technological advances as a planned "power-by-wire" generating plant in the southern Illinois coal fields, which will transmit power 175 miles to Chicago...
