Even when business is good, business men scan the economic horizon for portents of approaching trouble. And these days, as the dreary deadlock persists between Lyndon Johnson and Congress over taxing and spending, businessmen view the portents as troublesome. Seldom in recent years have they felt more uncomfortably aware that the whole U.S. economy can be crucially affected by a political impasse...
...gourmet editor (Gig Young) on the rueful side of 40, who thinks that variety is the spice of sex life until he meets The Girl.

Their less than sensational finding: if both sides follow present tactics, the war will...

[Feb. 3]: One can hardly scan a list of the leading baseball hitters, the rosters of professional basketball teams, or look at our representatives in the Olympic dash events without wondering if, in fact, there are differences in the genetic makeup of races. If there are such differences with respect to athletic ability, there may well be differences in other characteristics, characteristics that may be contributing to the ghetto problem. If there is any prejudice with respect to Shockley's theories, it is on the part of those who refuse to admit that they...
