...foreign affairs for veteran Socialist Leader Pietro Nenni, 77. The deputy premiership, too, went to a Socialist-Francesco de Martino, who is Nenni's subordinate in the party but has now become his superior in the government. Only the far-out leftists were unrepresented. The Republicans, third and smallest party in the coalition, picked up one ministry...
...smallest dabbler in penny stocks and the manager of a billion-dollar mutual fund have at least one thing in common: both men are always alert for the inside tip, the informed gossip that can lead to quick profit. Not surprisingly, stockbrokers often pick up those tips ahead of their customers. And they usually pass the information along to large institutions whose trading pays big commissions. Last week, for just such misuse of inside information, the Securities and Exchange Commission severely penalized the world's biggest brokerage house, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith...
Bacon's show may prove to be the most popular of the season; in the first week, all 19 oils have been either sold or reserved for prices ranging upward from $35,000 for the smallest multiple-image portraits.

Negroes were almost unanimous for Humphrey, showing no faith whatever in Nixon's promise to give blacks "a piece of the action."

Nixon and Wallace divided the South, except for Texas. Nixon dominated most of the Midwestern and Western states. Historically, there is nothing too unusual about minority Presidents. In the 37 elections since...
...Graceville, probably the smallest town ever represented in professional baseball, made it. On many sultry nights there were 3,000 people in the park for an Oilers game against hated Dothan, and one season Graceville actually led the Alabama-Florida League in attendance. The town took its Oilers to its bosom, inviting them to church suppers and baking pies for them and washing their clothes and giving them room-and-board (all very much appreciated, since a player earned from $150 to $300 a month in Class D). Artistically, the Oilers, a collection of pot-bellied baseball gypsies and frightened...
