...Pyramids. But that did not deter Kramer Designs of Royal Oak, Mich., from producing a pop copy with twin twirling plastic disks in psychedelic hues. When the string is pulled taut, the disks whirl apart, then clop together in mid-spin, sounding like a shark with loose plates chewing on an oyster. Op-Yop is its name. At $1 each, Kramer has sold 1,000,000 of them to date, confidently expects to sell another million by Christmas...
...rights, that ought to be the ultimate in light-tackle technique. Not quite. The palm goes to an Aussie named Peter Boadby. Fishing for bait fish off Brisbane, Boadby cast his line and accidently hooked a passing great white shark near the tail. Blissfully unaware that it had been hooked, the shark swam on, then made a U-turn and headed back, obviously figuring to do a little bait fishing itself.

Between January and November 1966, Marcus and Attorney Herbert Itkin, 41, a close friend and business associate, conferred a number of times with Tony Ducks and Bakery Union Official Daniel J. Motto, 57, who has close connections with politicians and the Mafia. These two men apparently advised Marcus to award the "emergency" reservoir-cleaning contract to S. T. Grand, and both served as negotiators with Grand. The kickback-5% of the total contract...
...Latin America one of the common metaphors for relations between the United States and its 21 "sister republics" is a shark eating up all the little sardines. The present struggle over election of a new secretary general for the Organization of American States has proved that if enough of the sardines get together, they can at least frustrate the shark's appetite...
