...Help. The big unknown is the Negro vote. Negro registration has surged from 30,000 to 194,000 since 1963, and 120 Negroes are running for office-making it likely that Mississippi soon will have its first black sheriffs and legislators since Reconstruction. White registration, however, rose by 140,000 during the same period...
...16th birthday, wearing a size 8, art-nouveau print shift. Right beside her stood another of the Kennedy birthday girls, wearing an identical, size 8 print shift, with a pair of white-mesh mod stockings thrown in for kicks. "You can say I'm 72," joked Rose Kennedy, "but please don't mention that it came from me." So the Boston Globe printed that she was 72 and didn't say it came from her. What more gracious present could it give her on her 77th birthday...
...AUTOS. Steel's biggest customers were somewhat better off. General Motors, which suffered a disastrous first quarter as new-car sales slumped, managed a brighter second quarter as springtime customers appeared. Sales rose 1% in the second quarter, to $5.6 billion, and earnings of $522 million were only 4.4% below last year v. a first-quarter profit drop of 34%. For the half-year, profits were $911,567,400, or 20% below last year. Chrysler's Chairman Lynn Townsend reported improved second-quarter sales of $1.6 billion with earnings off 11%, to $54.4 million, from the year...
When the lid came off, silver soared. At Manhattan's Commodity Exchange, a usually listless arena that deals in metals and hides, shirt-sleeved brokers shouted spot silver up to $1.775 per oz. on the first day. At midweek the price rose to $1.87 during one frenzied session when a record 16.25 million oz. worth nearly $30 million changed hands. At week's end the spot price closed at $1.8315, 42% above the dethroned Treasury price. The silver fever spread to the London Metal Exchange, where brokers planned to operate for the first time a formal futures market...
Twenty thousand different luxury items-including 2,400 kinds of wallets -have helped push Mark Cross's sales to an annual rate of $3,000,000. Profits rose 25% in both 1965 and 1966. In the first six months of 1967, the Fifth Avenue shop remained well ahead of other retailers, increasing earnings 20% over last year. George Wasserberger, 38, one of four U.S. entrepreneurs who took over 122-year-old Mark Cross in 1962, attributes its success to uncompromising quality. "We have never sacrificed lasting fashion for fad," he says. His philosophy is expressed in a recent Mark...
