...crust. The rare cathedral glass of Venice's Danieli, which was built in the 15th century, will still be repaired by the only living artisan with the necessary know-how. Faithful customers, who range from Europe's nobility to Actor Peter Sellers, will still receive the same tender care they have learned to expect from CIGA employees. At Rome's Grand, for example, silver-haired Lorenzo ("the Magnificent") Colasanti, a 35-year CIGA veteran, stands as ready as ever to pay Elizabeth Taylor's bills when she goes shopping and forgets her money...
James J. Ling, 45, chairman of Dallas-based Ling-Temco-Vought Inc., is a military buff who describes the conferences that lead up to his corporate takeovers as "war games." Last week, after a long war game, Ling made a tender offer for a controlling 62% of the stock of Pittsburgh's Jones & Laughlin Steel Co., the nation's fifth largest steelmaker. The offer meant that LTV stood ready to ante up $425 million in one of the largest cash tender offers ever made; at $85 per share, it also meant that Ling, to ensure quick action...
...into a five-man voting trust until 1971, with present J. & L. officers having a controlling three-man vote among the trustees. But there will be plenty of dividends for LTV. Jones & Laughlin recently reported first-quarter earnings of $11,706,000 on sales of $277 million.

All that should make J. & L. an attractive occupied territory for any corporate armchair general...

He enjoys his own jokes too inordinately; he protests his right to protest too much, with some of the purplest prose apotheosizing America written since the rhetorical mauve of Thomas Wolfe ("Brood on that country who expresses our will. She is America, once a beauty of magnificence unparalleled . . . tender mysterious bitch"). For the most part, his genuine wit and bellicose charm, and his fervent and intense sense of legitimately caring, render The Armies of the Night an artful document, worthy to be judged as literature...
...film: the old King's breath freezing in the chill sunlight of his vast hall, Hotspur's (Norman Rodway) peripatetic motion caught by a camera tracking in tight close-up, the gross Falstaff beside the cruelly emaciated Justice Shallow (Alan Webb), Doll Tearsheet (Jeanne Moreau) demonstrating how a tender and accomplished whore might satisfy an impossibly fat old patron. The Battle of Shrewsbury is simply the finest, truest, ugliest war footage ever shot and edited for a dramatic movie. Welles fills Falstaff with motifs to create visual unities: the vast castle wall which dominates shot after shot; the oppressive vacuity...
