High Fees. All in all, winners in 56 categories got Clios for individual excellence (a Clio, named for the muse of history, is a slim gold statuette that could be the result of an affair between an Oscar and an Emmy). Then there were maybe a dozen canonizations-a ceremony raising selected older commercials to the status of "Classics." For example, that box of Tide that used to stand under the cypress tree on the Monterey Peninsula is now in the hall of fame with Willie the Penguin, The Marlboro Man, and the yellow that went for Pepsodent...
Since the fad images of today are the square, the splotch and the soup can, it may seem that the only painters working with landscape are those daubing billboards to hide it. One who does not think that landscapes are old-fashioned is Jane Wilson, 39, a slim, chic former fashion mannequin who is personally as modern and vivacious as a girl in a Pepsi-Cola ad. Her recent landscapes and even newer cityscapes, which went on display last week at Manhattan's Tibor de Nagy Gallery, are suffused with such sunny fragrance that the New York Times...
...chocolate-skinned Robert Sobukwe, 38, head of the black nationalist Pan-African Congress, was sentenced to three years in jail for "incitement to riot." As his release date drew near last week, Sobukwe, a slim onetime university lecturer, was hustled from the maximum-security prison in Pretoria to a bleak detention camp on Robben Island in Table Bay, six miles from Cape Town.

Seeking Good Will. In some ways, Mafatlal has already made a start. For Indian women on a slim budget, his designers are now bringing out new saris that are durable and inexpensive enough for housework, yet attractive enough to be worn in public. Mafatlal has made deals with 34 Indian retail shops to sell his fabrics at low markups and plans to make more such arrangements. He has also taken the unusual step of placing ads in Indian newspapers and magazines to stress his company's interest in the public's welfare as well as in its rupees...
...Moore was ready to publish The Metabolic Response to Surgery, a slim (156-page) volume, listing Margaret R. Ball, his chief lab technician, as coauthor. Despite its unimpressive size and its coldly scientific title, the book became a surgical landmark. And it was only a beginning. What Moore calls his "big blue book" appeared in 1959. Metabolic Care of the Surgical Patient, a six-pound omnibus of 1,011 pages, would be monument enough for most men; it is a basic and irreplaceable text for modern surgeons. But Moore is still enlarging the dimensions of his monument. W. B. Saunders...
