...newspaper strike raised an inevitable question: Would it ever appear again? Last week 100,000 copies of issue No. 2, crammed with critiques from the likes of Stephen Spender, Robert Heilbroner and Truman Capote, and carrying 18 pages of ads in its 48 tabloid-sized pages, were on sale at newsstands and bookstores across Manhattan. This time the Review made no secret of when it would turn up next. Emboldened by a near sellout of their first, 100,000-copy issue, Editors Barbara Epstein and Bob Silvers declared that "there may be sufficient demand in America to support a literary...
...Forever? Considering his $75,000-a-year salary, Spahn's left arm is the most costly appendage in baseball, but he treats it as if he had found it at a fire sale. Some sculptor is undoubtedly already carving a bust of him for the Hall of Fame, but Spahn does not think he is ready for the museum yet. "I'd like to win 400 games," he says.

...school from all over the world to be judged anew. They send their vast and learned exhibitions traveling across oceans and continents; they are the great conservators, but also the great propagators. Even commercial galleries, seeking prestige, increasingly put on theme shows of not-for-sale work, old or new. If their exhibitions do not happen to stop near by, the art lover need not feel deprived. By jet and superhighway, it would be possible for one man to see all the major exhibitions open this week in the U.S. and Europe before any of them closes...
...Laskey bypassed Jewish-controlled investment houses to avoid any further tinge of sentiment, persuaded Manhattan's Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis to underwrite the plan. Visiting Israel, he also persuaded Finance Minister Levi Eshkol and the socialist Labor government to make concessions to the fund, including below-market-value sale of government-held stocks and an option eventually to purchase $50 million in such securities...
