Sand, sea and sky are an essay in greys, the water blackest. Syllables flow from our throats, ours and mine, but I am shamed by the distant hot dog man whose trousers reach almost to the armpits. He has no chest or stomach, in fact, no body...
Back to the Beach. For all practical political purposes, Rockefeller is finished as a presidential contender-not because he is a loser, but because he no longer has any stomach for the fight. He even seemed disdainful of the battle. As he confided to an aide with all too evident relief after the Washington breakfast: "I never really wanted this anyway." Hours after his withdrawal, Nelson Rockefeller emplaned for a brief vacation at Laurance Rockefeller's hotel on Puerto Rico's Dorado Beach.

Filthy devils...

A longtime star in the management-con ulting firm of Booz, Allen & Hamil ton, Burns presided over a study of RCA's marketing problems that impressed RCA's Chairman David Sarnoff to the extent that in 1957 he hired Burns as president. The mutual admiration did not last. Under Burns, RCA became deeply involved in the computer making business, and in one year took a $100 million loss...
