...possibility that if we get a tax cut next year, and if it is not accompanied by a restrictive monetary policy, we shall start moving up." Another thumbs-up omen was reported last week by philanthropic fund-raising organizations; far from pinching pennies, the U.S. public is expected to shell out an alltime record sum of $8.7 billion to charitable causes in 1962. Perhaps the most hopeful pointer was Detroit's output of 472,000 cars last month, a September level unsurpassed since...
...Pamela, 44, launched a laconic legal battle in a Santa Monica court to divvy up the spoils of their marriage. Pamela demanded an allowance of $14,165 a month alimony and child support for the couple's precocious daughter Portland, 13, and son Alexander, 6; Mason agreed to shell out a temporary $7.000. Even with all that dough at stake, it was stiff upper lips all round. As the hearing was going on. Pamela was charmingly interviewing James on a pretaped TV show. "One should be able to talk to someone to whom one has been married...
...years, the fluffy chick eternally popping out of its shell on the Bon Ami trademark has assured U.S. housewives that the famed old cleanser "hasn't scratched yet." But the Bon Ami chick, if not yet scratching, is not unscratched. Five years ago, the Manhattan-based Bon Ami Co. was looted of $3,000,000 by Swindler Alexander Guterma (TIME. Feb. 23, 1959).

Moreover, few Afro-Asians can afford to attend high schools; though Ben-Gurion is pushing free schooling, most parents must shell out tuition fees of some $200 a year. The problem is most acute in the elementary schools, where Afghans, Yemenites, Moroccans and Iraqis make up 55% of the first-grade population, but dwindle to 27% by the eighth grade. Warned the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz last week: "We must now plan...
...Lyman fans buy each new effort (Yellow Bird, Hawaiian Sunset, Taboo Vol. 2) with the enthusiasm of rare-stamp collectors. Back home in Hawaii, Lyman's mistily exotic mood music has been copied with varying success by a dozen groups. It draws tourists by the gross to the Shell Bar in the Hawaiian Village Hotel, where Lyman holds forth when he is not on tour (and where television's Hawaiian Eye show, on which Lyman has appeared, often stops for a drink). With record sales and the kind of capacity crowds he was drawing last week, Lyman will...
