...Lord for not providing rain?" Meanwhile, high interest rates continue to draw money out of stocks into such investments as Treasury notes and utility bonds, and trading is too light for many brokers to make a profit. Robert H.B. Baldwin, president of New York's Morgan Stanley & Co., predicts that "between 100 and 200 [brokerage] firms will merge or go out of business if short-term interest rates do not decline substantially, if the stock market does not improve markedly in price and volume, and if negotiated commissions [which permit investors to bar gain with brokers over what...
Though established as a name, Nicholson is in the first flush of excitement at being a household word right now, and he is handling it with the respectable glee and half (but only that) the mocking humor of a sort of cutup prince regent. He is talking to Stanley Kubrick about playing Napoleon, to Bernardo Bertolucci about being the Continental Op in a film of Dashiell Hammett's Red Harvest.

...powerless to prevent West Side Story. Tennessee Williams is luckier. When Director Charles Lang of West Berlin's Freie Volksbühne theater decided to stage a revisionist production of Williams' classic Streetcar Named Desire, he cast black actor Günther Kaufmann as the red necked Stanley Kowalski. Lang's other change was even more radical: rather than being raped by Kowalski, Blanche DuBois is seduced by him. Tennessee learned of Lang's plans just before the opening and immediately got an injunction to stop the performance. Ruling the show could go on, a three...
