...Avis has a great potential for expansion abroad," said I.T. & T. Chairman and President Harold S. Geneen, "where I.T. &T. has operations and marketing experience." There was some logic in that, but it had obviously at first escaped Avis Chairman Robert C. Townsend, who coined the "We Try Harder" slogan that has helped make No. 2 Avis a much stronger competitor for first-place Hertz. Said he: "At first, I wondered how a small company could be acquired by a large one without losing some of its spark. But now I'm enthusiastic. We'll try even harder...

American Motors President Roy Abernethy agreed that 1965 sales will surpass 1964's, predicted that the industry...
...varied inversely with the number of dancers on stage. In Leonard Bernstein's First Glimpse, a horde of girls stood in place going through fairly standard motions: swinging hips, snapping fingers, waving arms. In a "pas de trois" danced to Richard Rogers' My Favorite Things, only Carol Schectman. Linda Townsend and Walsh occupied the stage, and theirs was the most relaxed and technically the best dance performance of the evening. Miss Schectman especially moved with great ease and grace...
