Switch in Portfolios. Even so, the experts are choosing their stocks with considerable care. In recent months, they have favored "defensive" issues that tend to advance in tandem with the population growth and the rising standard of living, e.g., food, cosmetics, tobacco, publishing, insurance, utilities and banks. As of last week, the bloom was off most of these rosy issues because prices have skipped far ahead of earnings forecasts. Now the experts are eying the industries that tend to curve along with the business cycle-oils, industrial machinery, rails, chemicals, paper-and which stand to profit if general business activity...
...naughty, nutty boudoir farce. The lover it celebrates (Jean-Pierre Cassel) is a gay young gigolo whose rich mistress (Micheline Presle) keeps him comfortable but also keeps him busy. Even so, the lover has enough libido left for a chic chick (Jean Seberg), and for several reels the tandem romance rackets merrily along. Neither mistress knows he has the other; he on the other hand is blithely unaware that both attend the same hen parties...
Sensitive Trio. The new guide brings together 78 sensitive business-cycle indicators and divides the bulk of them into three groups: "leaders,"' whose turns generally precede that of the economy as a whole; "laggers," which historically move behind the overall economy; and "coincident indicators." which move roughly in tandem with the general curve.

One theoretical case: if economists spotted...
...Lampoon found itself in trouble again after its infamous "Esquire" issue in spring 1935; in righteous disciplinary fervor the Administration closed down the "Poon establishment while officers scrambled to desert the sinking ship. Only the autumn before, the CRIMSON, Lampoon, and Life magazine had gone on sale in tandem at a combined price of $5.00, never again to be duplicated. A mild stir arose at the vague revival of the Med. Fac, Club, open to any undergraduate who could commit anything which would have him expelled and jailed if caught. But the revival died quickly; members succeeded only in blowing...
...will be powered by two new Continental 180-h.p. engines, carry four passengers at a cruising speed of about 180 m.p.h., take off and land in less than 800 ft. of runway, fly as high as 22,000 ft. and climb 1,550 ft. per minute. Moreover, the unusual tandem engine mounting virtually eliminates the problem of torque and unbalance that usually occurs when a conventional twin-engine plane loses power in one engine, making it so difficult to fly that comparatively few weekend flyers hold twin-engine ratings. The result is a two-engine plane that Cessna believes pilots...
