Many aren't even opposed to the war. Service was a hurdle that Montreal got them around. "What the hell," said one nineteen-year-old from the Bronx, "I got my notice one day in the mail and went to a bar to have a drink before I went. There was a guy there just back from Vietnam: two wooden arms, two wooden legs, and no disability payments. 'What's in it for me?' I said to myself and caught the next bus for here. I would have gone except Canada's where it's at and the Army wasn...
...Several airlines were shut down by a costly machinists' strike in 1966, and as a result, their 1967 performances looked good by comparison. At TWA, net income climbed from $33,371,000 to $40,658,000 on sales of $1.02 billion. Eastern's profits went from $14,713,000 to $24,114,000.

Died. Tsougouharu Foujita, 81, Japanese-born painter who settled in France; of cancer; in Zurich.

He plays Tuco, a Mexican gunman with so many prices on his head that he cashes them in by traveling from town to town with his partner Joe (Eastwood), who turns him in for the bounty money, then springs him at the last moment by shooting the rope with which Tuco is being hanged. When Joe's aim begins to deteriorate, so does the partnership, but the two stick together long enough to set out in pursuit of $200,000 worth of stolen gold hidden...
...real man in the money these days, however, is Clinton Eastwood Jr., son of a California business executive, who went into television after an unsuccessful try at breaking into movies. Although his acting-so far-has been consistently awful, his European box-office success with the Dollar films jumped his price from $15,000 for Fistful to $250,000 for Ugly. He is riding even taller in the saddle now, as Hollywood studios seem to have decided that he is just right to play the kind of strong, silent, outdoor roles that once went to Gary Cooper. His next epic...
