...Bristol-Myers products. Another is to pit the company's major divisions against one another by bringing out several types of the same product; thus Bristol-Myers markets a variety of hair tonics (Vitalis, Score, Fitch, Vitapointe), cold pills (Bromo-Quinine, Clinicin, 4-Way) and deodorants (Mum, Ban, Trig). Still another Schwartz principle is to stimulate in his subordinates what he calls "the constant abrasive of disagreement." His top men, most of them in the 40s, are distinctly non-sycophantic. "They argue with me," says Schwartz, "and they keep me working as hard as I ever have...
...took a line that could put a painful crimp in the $500 million-a-year business of testimonial advertising. Does Arthur Godfrey really use Sucaryl? Does Comedian Tom Poston actually sip Heublein martinis? Is it a fact that New York Giants' Quarterback Charley Conerly deodorizes himself with Trig?

Fabrics, more than color, are the big highlights. Leather, knit and tweed are big (often combined, particularly by Bonnie Cashin).

To the horror of the students, exams have been squeezed into the regular schedule of each semester, instead of being allotted a week of their own. Pitt is also working on state agencies to revise the professional requirements for graduates. A law student at Pitt, for example, could finish law school in two years, but the Pennsylvania State Board of Bar Examiners has required three...
...College must give up in its efforts to help raise secondary school standards. Instead of the present recommended, but vague, three years of math which is suggested, the College might outline a course coverage they think worthwhile. For while three years in some schools might put the student through trig and advanced algebra, in many others it covers only geometry and second year algebra. The College might instruct alumni to speak to local schools, and write schools which have sent students here, advising strongly that the more math an applicant has studied the better will be his chances...
