...slashed its $300 million capital-spending plans for 1969. At New Stanton, Pa., construction of a $200 million assembly plant was halted even as the steel was going up. B. F. Goodrich, which is trying to fatten earnings and fend off a takeover attempt by Northwest Industries, plans to trim its 1969 spending.

ABC has had no trouble at all selling commercial spots to makers of sewing machines, bras, eye makeup and suntan...
...Miss Haber was trim enough to show her Donald Brooks suit off to best advantage, but her blue eyes had long since lost their little-girl luminosity; it was almost as if they had already seen so much they had turned to marble. Her face had that blowsy, drowsy look, the kind people get when they have slept too long, or not at all. These nights, sleep is scarce. Plopping down on a two-seater sofa in her workroom, Joyce explained: "This is really a Hide-A-Bed. I have to get up at 5:30 to do my column...
