...international subsidiary. He and Morgan J. Cramer, a former president of P. Lorillard Co. (tobacco) and now R. C. International's president, aim to increase foreign sales 25% next year. Other U.S. soft-drink makers are also training some of their highest-priced executive and promotional talent on the foreign market, whose growth rate will soon top that of the U.S. market. Competition is so acute that companies seldom disclose the size of their foreign sales, but industry insiders estimate conservatively that the annual volume of U.S. soft drinks abroad is at least 1 billion cases-making a market...
...Today, still remarkably spry for his years, Böhm jets between continents to conduct about 80 performances a year, is already booked through 1970. A high-domed, bookish-looking man, he is known among musicians as a conductor long on native talent but short on patience. He is a stickler for punctuality, keeps a collection of 15 clocks ticking in perfect unison in the bedroom of his Vienna apartment.

For $14,000,000 he got Panavision, Color by Deluxe, top-chop talent (Julie Andrews, Max von Sydow, Richard Harris), two shrewd scripters (Dalton Trumbo and Daniel Taradash), and a director (George Roy Hill) whose dependability is warm milk to any producer's ulcer...
...cozy quirks and idiosyncrasy like a thousand others, boasts one sterling asset in Georgy herself, played by 23-year-old Lynn Redgrave, daughter of Sir Michael and sister of Vanessa. Tackling a made-to-measure role, Actress Redgrave shows that she has inherited a fair share of the family talent along with the lack-looks of a backstairs maid. As Georgy she is dumpy, vaguely prognathous, warm and plain as a suet pudding. Her figure is so nondescript that she paws through heaps of female finery with the defeatist air of a girl attempting to dress up an old packing...
