...darn good, practical thing." Essentially, such a superdepartment would eliminate wasteful duplication. Until that uncertain day, he will have his work cut out for him. His department's primary job lies in the delicate area of liaison between the Administration and big business-and some critics openly wonder whether Trowbridge is either sufficiently mature or experienced for so weighty a portfolio. In addition, he has already drawn up a formidable list of priorities, from ameliorating the balance-of-payments problem and simultaneously promoting U.S. investments abroad to expanding economic planning in the U.S. and waging an all-out campaign...
...first prize includes a series of solo engagements with such orchestras as the Cleveland, Chicago and New York Philharmonic, so it is no wonder that the piano and violin competitions sponsored by Manhattan's Edgar M. Leventritt Foundation have helped launch many an illustrious career. Pianists Eugene Istomin, Gary Graffman and Van Cliburn and Violinists David Nadien and Itzhak Perlman are among the performers who got an early boost from the award. Since the stakes and standards are so high, the judges occasionally pick no winner when they feel that the candidates are not ripe for major concert appearances...
...washerwoman spy is but a tiny part of a vast, largely secret U.S., Vietnamese and Royal Laotian effort to detect, deter and destroy the primary funnel through which North Vietnamese men and materiel head for South Viet Nam.

In recent months its roads have been paved with crushed stone or topped with pressed laterite. Camouflages of bamboo and branch roof it over where the jungle canopy is balding. Bridges are often built...

Author Christie, 76, has given no interview on the subject since 1961, claiming that she has run out of things to say. Small wonder. Believing The Mousetrap good for about a six-month run, she had made a thoughtful little gift of the royalties to her grandson, Michael Pritchard, who keeps up a 900-acre estate, an 18th century manor house and an Alfa-Romeo on the proceeds...
...tragedy of this erstwhile comedy, Celeste Holm, who plays Sandra's mother, pronounces such stagy prattle as: "Don't you like him any more? I mean are you afraid it was just (pause) physical?" For those who wonder whatever happened to that angry young hippie, Mort Sahl, Doctor casts him in a cameo part as a square nightclub owner. Even a grain of Sahl adds no flavor to this tasteless trifle...
