...only to those Guild members hired as full-time employees before March 31, 1965, the date of expiration of the last contract. Finally, two lesser issues are also in dispute. With 2,200 out of 2,400 eligible employees already on its rolls, the Guild is demanding a union shop-something the Times management is determined not to have. The Guild is also unhappy with the Times's pension plan and is asking for severance pay for retiring employees...
...Shop on High Street, made last year by Czechoslovakian Co-Directors Jan Kadar and Elmar Klos, took festivalgoers in New York back to the year 1942, when the Jews of a little Slovakian town incredulously learned that Hitler's pogrom had begun.

Felled by a heart attack in 1948 and forced to eke out a living, Costantini set up a shop, like many of those lining the Piazza San Marco, selling the gaudy souvenirs that today pass for Venetian glass.

As their contracts with stamp companies expired, several big merchants recently dropped the stamps and announced that they would lower prices. Stop & Shop Stores wiped out stamps in 73 New England markets. A & P cut them out in Michigan, and Safeway Stores eliminated them in Arizona. In New York City, two chains with 162 stores between them last month threw out all stamps, plastered newspapers with DOWN GO PRICES...
Perkin-Elmer's founder and chairman is Richard S. Perkin, 58, whose company has made him a millionaire 25 times over. As a youthful Manhattan investment banker with a passion for amateur astronomy, Perkin and a friend named Charles Elmer in 1938 opened a small shop in a converted Jersey City rathskeller to grind precision lenses, mirrors and prisms for telescopes. When World War II came, the fledgling company suddenly found itself designing the optics for bombsights, aerial cameras, range finders and submarine periscopes...
