...elbow of Nikita Khrushchev, as he toured East Germany this summer, appeared a new traveling partner, sallow, stoop-shouldered, scowling. Unlike the previous sidekick, Bulganin, who looked like an amiable riverboat gambler living it up, this saturnine little man seemed to shrink from the speechmaking and the public panoply, the peculiar rites and duties of the proletarian potentates who parade about holding durbars in subject states like 19th century monarchs, while talking over their shoulders to the press like 20th century pols. Yet the world noted, as it was meant to, that wherever the Russians went in East Berlin, Deputy...
Publisher Cabot (of the Back Bay Cabots), who first visited Taos as a member of a Harvard geological expedition in 1932 and soon took a summer place there, bought El Creeps nine years ago last month.

And they are going ahead full power with modernization programs designed to trim operating costs still further, will invest an estimated $273 million in the third quarter v. $222 million for the same period last year. Says Chicago & Northwestern's Vice President Larry Provo: "The general situation in rail...
...salesgirls were elected to the store's board of directors, were sole arbiters of the store hours and holidays. The employee-directors did not work out. But other benefits took firm hold: an employee restaurant, a clinic, a library, a clubhouse, a credit union. Profit-sharing, retirement benefits, summer Saturday closings, systematic job evaluations, even sending executives to the Harvard Business School-all were pioneered by the Filenes. Said Lincoln: "Every release of the worker to more use of his mind, every addition to his skill, means steadily better wages. Society can well afford to pay a steadily rising...
