...young audience, and we're saying to them: 'You've forgotten about sounds that have gone before-big bands, Delta blues, Charlie Parker, classical.' We're presenting them all in a rock package." It makes a powerfully appealing package. The LP has sold more than 600,000 copies since its release in December, and last week was No. 2 on the pop charts...
...jugglers and magicians. Yet long lines are still a feature of Moscow life; they form daily outside the Georgian-style Aragvi restaurant and the popular Seventh Heaven, a new yet already shabby revolving restaurant 700 ft. up the 1,600-ft.-high Moscow television tower.

...covetous eyes at Prince's Armour. Secretly manipulating his pawns on Wall Street, Bluhdorn acquired almost 10% of Armour before Billy could blink.

Fuji Heavy Industries is offering its low-priced $1,300 Subaru, and Honda, already known for its motorcycles, is pushing a $1,400 minicar. A third manufacturer, Toyo Kogyo, expects to make...
Jean-Paul Belmondo, hero of Breathless, plays the lead role of Ferdinand (the name of a king of Spain during the Inquisition), a man whose life has drifted away from him without his realizing it. He had sold out when he married an Italian girl who had a lot of money and now he is bored. He goes to a party with his wife. The camera follows his point of view as he wanders around the party aimlessly staring at the people there, always puffing on his Gauloise Bleue. In a highly stylized sequence, different groups of Beautiful People repeat...
