Employee Relations. So the Perrys took to the streets and sold their movie to small investors at $312.50 a slice. Broadway plays often crawl onto the boards that way, and that was the world the Perrys knew. Strange grapes were often dangled before the couple. One man said he would come through with about $100,000 if the Perrys would add a rape and a seduction to the script. Another fellow handed them a worthless check...

...will remain in large numbers. The Air Force has sought development of a supersonic B-70, and Congress has authorized funds for a modified version (the RS-70), but so far the Administration has refused to spend much of the money. With Skybolt -which could presumably slice effectively through antiaircraft defenses-the Air Force expected to keep its B-52 force useful through the 1970s. But with Skybolt a stillborn bird, many Air Forcemen look gloomily toward the day when the manned bomber will be dead as a dodo...

Sure-footed as mountain goats, and skillful as surgeons with their curved knives, the guerrillas take few prisoners. Occasionally they slice off ears, noses or lips and send them back to the rebels as a gory reminder that the war is not over.

In many cases, Studebaker has been able to slice overhead by combining operations with its new subsidiaries. The parent company's styling department, for example, now serves all divisions. And so far, the diversification program has paid off handsomely: where it managed to avert a loss of $3,100,000 in 1961 only by selling off its plastics division, Studebaker showed a profit...

Journey was produced on Broadway in 1956, three years after the playwright's death. Translated to the screen by Director Sidney Lumet, who has added nothing to O'Neill's playscript and taken very little away, Journey provides a raw red slice of family life, liberally garnished with rotgut, morphine, vitriol and sour grapes, that takes more than three hours (allowing intermission) to digest.
