...sparked the answer to the problem of how to design a new tire machine; he had attacked the problem without any preconceived technical notion that it was impossible. Motorola's President Robert Galvin has set up a special "idea clinic" along much the same lines. Motorola's ticket of admission to the clinic is a list of 10-25 ideas on a company problem. Then the lucky thinkers spend a free weekend at a luxurious hotel or country club chewing over their ideas, looking for the best solution. Says Galvin: "What we have accomplished is to create...

Last week, just a short subway or taxi ride from Times Square, a theatergoer could pay his money (ticket range: $1.15 to $4.50) and take his choice of a dozen productions. The three top hits: The Threepenny Opera, the sardonic satire of London's 19th century underworld taken from John Gay's The Beggar's Opera, which holds the record for longevity off-Broadway (560 performances); a revival of The Iceman Cometh, by Eugene O'Neill (225 performances); and Take a Giant Step, by Louis Peterson, another revival, which drew better reviews than the Broadway original...
