...daughter (Katharine Houghton) engaged to a too-too successful doctor (Sidney Poitier) who, in the jargon of the early 60's, "happens to be a Negro." Of course the liberal editor turns out to have trouble practicing what he preaches, whereon the plot of the movie is hinged. William Rose's screenplay offers humor (the girl's parents' reaction on meeting Poitier; his parents' reaction on meeting Miss Houghton), suspense (who will talk to whom in which room next?), and incisive social commentary (we are brothers under the skin). Some reviewers have been kind enough to call it a drawing...
...Economic Cooperation and Development, the group agreed that the wherewithal to finance world trade will shrink by $4 billion over the next twelve months as a result of the British and U.S. retrenchments. That is precisely the amount by which the reserves of the six Common Market countries rose during 1967. Thus continental Europe, which managed only a torpid 2.5% economic growth last year, is in a strong position for a shift to deficit spending, government pump priming, and measures to hold down interest rates.

Though overall German camera sales tumbled by 7% last year, Rollei's rose by 40% from $9,000,000 to an estimated $12.5 million. So strong is demand that the company looks for sales increases of 25% this year and next-if the factory can handle...
...firm that would have paid him $10. At the time, Interstate, which had been formed by a 1928 merger of three Midwest department-store chains, was having a rough time trying to fight its way out of the Depression. And while the company struggled to stay solvent, Cantor rose steadily through a series of management upheavals. He became president in 1952, well aware that he had "a very sick company" on his hands. He prescribed heavy cost cutting and an all-out push into the then new wave in retailing: discounting...
