...fact that minor dips scare the odd-lotter easily, even when the market is basically sound, makes him a poor short-term trader. For example, during the Fulbright investigation last March when the market broke sharply (TIME, March 21), the number of odd-lot sales rose sharply. But, in general, the small investor is not an in-and-out-of-the-market speculator. Chief reason: it is slightly more expensive to buy or sell odd lots at a given price since an extra broker's commission of one-eighth of a point is charged...
...especially appealing as a diffident little savage, and Carol Cohen expressed the tribe's philosophy with remarkable naturalness. As other savage, Dick Merlo, Fenton Hollander, Mimi Martinez, and Erich Segal were all suitably oivilized, while Ann Rand and bill Soring played the missionary's daughter and an American trader with the proper uncouthness. As the missionary, Earle Edgerton displayed just the right mixture of theological dogmatism and personal uncertainty...
...some time-much the same as George's. ¶ The climactic battle of the 84th Congress will come on the Administration's liberalized foreign-trade bill.

One lazy summer afternoon George was fishing on the Flint River near Vienna when he got word of the death of rabble-rousing Senator Tom Watson, bitter isolationist and onetime Populist Party candidate for President. George...
...gentlemanly John Stenhouse, chairman of the suburban Mercer Island school board, last month told a congressional hearing that had summoned him as a witness: "I was a member of the Communist Party." For two painful hours Stenhouse, 47, related the story of his past. The son of a British trader, he had worked at the family business in China until the war, then fled with his American-born wife to Los Angeles, where he tried to sell Chinese antiques. When his business failed, he became a machinist, got into war production-and into bad company. "We had no friends...
