Europe's impressionists and old masters have been claiming high prices for years, but the most recent success story in the art market deals with a contingent of sleepers who, like Rip Van Winkle, are returning to public esteem after a century of obscurity. American 19th century painting, from the works of such frontier reporters as George Caleb Bingham, whose pictures today bring as high as $250,000, to the early 20th century cityscapes of the Ashcan School, is enjoying a remarkable revival. A Hudson River landscape by Frederick Church that sold for $3,500 in the 1950s went...
...called Laugh-In, and the hosts are a pair of 40-year-old manics in monkey suits named Dan Rowan and Dick Martin. They devised the idea for the show last year, but its viability wasn't certain until it was given the sure kiss of success: all the Hollywood hotshots said it couldn't be done. A full hour of nothing but comedy? No dancers? No guest crooners? No lavish production numbers? Impossible. So, when the show debuted six weeks ago during the deep doldrums of TV's midseason, it came on like a fanfare...
...unions are not. They are, in fact, a study in furious frustration. They promoted a boycott of the paper's advertisers, but with little success. A Hearst strike in San Francisco, supported by Los Angeles pickets, was settled last week. The unions claim that they cannot get management to negotiate.

This year alone, the firm will turn out a million players and 9,000,000 cassettes containing 2,000 titles drawn from 90 record labels. Spurred by Philips' success, at least 40 other companies in the past year have begun moving their own cassette equipment into the U.S. market. By year's end, more than 1,000 titles will be available on cassettes in the U.S., priced mostly at $5.95 (v. an average of $6.95 for cartridges...
...performed. Though Strickman's device may be more effective than the cellulose acetate variety, there are other filters already on the market -including those on such cigarettes as Marvels and Cascades-that probably rival it in reducing tar and nicotine. But most such brands have enjoyed only moderate success among smokers, many of whom feel that the filters diminish taste and make it harder to "draw." While the Strickman filter may likewise be hard on the draw, a consumer study for Strickman by Market Analyst Virginia Miles suggests that it has very possibly solved the taste problem...
