Conservatively built, the partners' realm has survived the general shake-out of real-estate syndicates since 1962. Some recent acquisitions, such as the 35-acre Bush waterfront terminal in Brooklyn, have been financed with only a few wealthy partners, and increasingly, Wien and Helmsley have been able to swing deals all by themselves. The Schine purchase, made without partners, brings them twelve hotels (including Miami's faded Roney Plaza and Los Angeles' first-class Ambassador), 62 theaters in the East and Midwest, and a community antenna-TV system in Massena...

"There were no fine words," writes Author Le Carré, his eye fixed on the solitary figure going down the hill into the obliterating night shadows.

Luckily for Sato, the Japanese electorate is conservative by tradition, and when all the votes were in, his Liberal Democrats had lost only four seats-nowhere near enough to shake their commanding majority in the Diet's 250-member House of Councilors.

Moreover, he has an air of no-nonsense realism that has been sadly lacking in South Viet Nam. To Saigon newsmen's howls of outrage over his newspaper shutdown, Ky replied with icy calm: "Communists...
...Washington last week at the first National Conference on Law and Poverty, attended by 500 U.S. jurists and lawyers. President Johnson's anti-poverty administrators suggested that lawyers should step in and help the poverty program by seeing to it that the poor are given a fair shake by everybody from slumlords to loan sharks. Said Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach: Lawyers' ethical standards "have served us well and will continue to do so, but I cannot believe their purpose is to prevent legal services from being offered to individuals who desperately need them but do not know...
