...victim's out-of-pocket costs-up to $10,000. These costs would include hospital and medical bills as well as 90% of lost wages (on the theory that 100% payment would encourage malingering), and would be paid out as they actually occurred rather than in a lump sum after settlement. Regardless of who was at fault in an accident, the injured driver and his passengers would receive benefits immediately from the driver's own insurance company rather than the other driver's company. If both drivers were injured, they would deal directly with their own insurers...
CAROL + 2 (CBS, 8:30-9:30 p.m.). "Carol" = Burnett and "2" = Lucille Ball + Zero Mostel. With that O in there, the sum should be impressive...
Critics argue that the Dow-Jones is inflated, exaggerated and inaccurate-and they are partly right. It is the sum of only 30 selected stocks, ranging alphabetically from Allied Chemical to Woolworth; that sum is then divided by a divisor (currently 2.245) to adjust for past stock splits and dividends.

Example: Du Pont is only one-sixth the size of General Motors, but carries more than twice as much weight...

...Seventh Army in Germany is based not on French ports but on Antwerp, Rotterdam and Hamburg. And though it would cost at least $700 million, the U.S. could move most of its facilities in France to the Low Countries and West Germany. To the U.S., it seemed a sizable sum to charge for amour-propre. But not to De Gaulle. As an atomic power, he said, France has world responsibilities. "France desires to handle these responsibilities herself. This desire is incompatible with the organization of defense under which she is now subordinated...
