Whatever McCarthy's feelings may have been about Robert Kennedy as a rival, he was willing to give up nine months of effort for Ted last week. Sounded out by Stephen Smith, Kennedy's brother-in-law, at the height of the Teddy boomlet, McCarthy offered to throw all his weight to the last surviving brother. "Smith said Teddy wouldn't go for it if he had to fight with me," McCarthy recounted. "I told him he wouldn't have to fight with me. I told him I was willing to give all the strength...
...money would then remain in the coffers of big institutional investors, indirectly enriching thousands of mutual-fund shareholders and pension-fund contributors. Brokers should be able to bear the loss: soaring trading volume has deluged Wall Street with profits. Last year the net earnings of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, the largest U.S. brokerage house, jumped 25% to $54.6 million, as its operating revenue, mostly from commissions, climbed to $369 million. Profits at Goodbody & Co. rose 78%. The volume surge means that crack securities salesmen today often earn $100,000 a year. In one medium-sized firm, five...
Only a few years ago, Dr. Smith would have had no hospital privileges, except in tumbledown quarters reserved for Negroes. For almost a century, "segregationists had a neatly effective exclusion device: hospital appointments were open only to members of the county medical societies. And the societies were exclusively white. For 29 years, the A.M.A. gently "urged" member groups to integrate, but few did.

The Hinds County Medical Society was among those that yielded. It admitted Smith...
Huntley and Brinkley are off the air, their show abruptly shelved. Lawrence Spivak, Mike Wallace and Curt Gowdy are fired outright. Edwin Newman is still on the payroll but restricted to covering baseball. Howard K. Smith has been forcibly retired, and Eric Sevareid has been rusticated to the local sta tion in Keokuk. In their place are unknown third-stringers, providing bland, cursory newscasts culled from the wire services. Translated from the French, that is the situation U.S. televiewers would face this week...
Homer's successors, Chairman William P. Gwinn, 60, who has served as president for twelve years, and new President Arthur E. Smith, 57, will have challenges of their own. United's production schedules have been disrupted by Viet Nam priorities, and the company must simultaneously continue development (at a cost of some $80 million so far) of its JT9D jet engine for the next generation of airliners. Then, of course, there are Horner's records to be beaten, such as United's peak first-half earnings, announced last week, of $32.5 million on sales...
