Back in his beloved Oklahoma City this week, Gaylord is once again getting up early and going home late, a habit of his for the 65 years that he has been a newspaperman. The slight, trim nonagenarian still puts in eight hours at the office six days a week, participating as much as ever in the writing and editing of his papers. Such concentration has made him not only the leading press lord of his state but also its most powerful citizen. In addition to putting out the state's biggest papers, the morning Daily Oklahoman (circ...
...Screen & On. And she, as Severine, has clearly come of age as an actress. Though she has played love roles off-screen as well as on (she has an illegitimate son by Director Roger Vadim), her big-lashed amber eyes are still limpidly innocent, her figure still tidily trim. Daughter of French Actor Maurice Dorleac, she stumbled into the movies at 16, when her older sister, Actress Francoise Dorleac,* suggested her for a bit part during a school holiday.

Since last fall, the impasse between Congress and the President over the mixture has thwarted meaningful action. Now there are a few signs of movement. Two weeks ago, Johnson offered to trim his budget request for fiscal 1969 by $9 billion-but only if Congress approves his plea for a 10% income-tax surcharge to siphon an equal amount from the U.S. economy. Last week the President called for national "austerity," warned that the dangers confronting the dollar are "immediate and serious...
Though Kelvinator turns out some auto parts-including door stampings, interior trim and /seat upholstery-A.M.C. expressed confidence that the division's shutdown "will not hurt auto production for a few weeks yet." The reason is that A.M.C. had built up big parts inventories in anticipation of such a strike. To guard against a protracted Kelvinator shutdown, the company also began laying plans to turn to outside suppliers for the affected parts. With high hopes for continued recovery, A.M.C. obviously has every intention of avoiding, if possible, even the briefest auto-production stoppage...
