...popular as Mali-Mali, a dolphin dish that has become a prized delicacy in Hawaii and the West. Miami Entrepreneur William Doherty, who has built a $275,000 trawler-factory to fish for shark, calls it "the product of the future." Its fate will depend largely on the success of the strategy that U.S. restaurateurs are using to overcome the stigma of shark: capitalizing on it. At Gatsby's restaurant in Atlanta's American Motor Hotel, for example, Catering Director George Gold promotes his baked mako by putting 16-in. stuffed sharks on diners' tables, along with...
Stephen S.J. Hall hails the winter-vacation "cold-zone" program as a qualified success. "Maybe we didn't save as much money as we would have liked," Hall says, "but the distribution of coldness within the projected cold zones exceeded our most optimistic predictions, especially temperature-wise."

That pessimism is abstract, based, he says, on his conceptions of the nature of man and history. It certainly isn't derived from his personal success or prospects. His thrice-weekly column is currently syndicated in some 140 newspapers, and he writes a biweekly column for Newsweek that began last week.

Diligence is no longer enough to get ahead on the city streets; now a man's got to have luck if he's not to be forgotten. Rocky slips quietly into the mildly criminal life of the city. "Well, it's a living," he says. But underneath he knows...
...POINT IS that Rocky, an ordinary hero, if given the opportunity, can rise to any heights. The secret of his success, and that of this warm, funny, most sincere film is older and more forgotten than any other dream: quite simply, they believe in themselves. Twice each day Rocky stops at the neighborhood pet shop to crack a joke, trying to get the attentions of Adrian, an unmarried, unsought "loser" who stands without a word, feeding the caged birds. "Hey, I hear she's a retard," the loan shark's driver mocks Rocky. But under the fighter's clumsy, tender...
