...Great Britain, though, there was shop-floor cheering at the factories of Rolls-Royce, whose advanced RB.211 engines will power Pan Am's TriStars. To Rolls, Pan Am's initial order means $218.5 million in sales and an even richer psychological reward. Start-up costs for the RB.211 pushed the famous automaker into bankruptcy and its jet-engine operation into nationalization in 1971. Sir Kenneth Keith, 61, chairman of Rolls-Royce Ltd., believes that the future of the RB.211 program has been enhanced by the Pan Am deal. Said he: "It has been a cliffhanger. Six months...
...refusal to review the order is a significant boost for the FTC. The agency in the past seven years has forced other companies to run "corrective" ads asserting in effect that their previous ads made false claims. Companies bowing to such orders include ITT, Continental Baking for Profile bread (whose claimed fewer calories per slice, the FTC charged, was attained simply by making its slices thinner), Ocean Spray for cranberry juice and Amstar for Domino sugar. All signed consent decrees; Warner-Lambert was the first to ask the courts to rule that it did not have to take back...

What matters is being faithful to Chandler's singular vision, and that requires acts of cinematic imagination that are beyond the reach of the crude craftsman whose biggest previous success was Death Wish...
...focus does not quite work the other way. Most Americans may never have heard of Steinberg, but the influence of that clear, epigrammatic line and dry wit has been felt throughout American design and illustration for almost two generations. Moreover, his motifs are almost subliminally recognizable: the wry face whose nose turns into a detachable line, the worried cats, the Ruritanian flourishes and curlicues, the apocalyptic scenes of street riots and urban breakdown, the setting of the bizarre commonplaces of American life in a cosmopolitan matrix. Such details of Steinberg's work constitute a signature and have subtly altered America...
