...Cyrus Rowlett Smith, 68, a salty, poker-loving Texan who took over American Airlines in 1934 and guided its growth through the '50s (1967 revenues: $842 million). A brilliant executive, "C.R." helped organize the Army's wartime Air Transport Command, of which he was deputy commander, and wound up a major general at war's end, when he returned to American to steer it into the postwar age of commercial aviation. He resigned only last month as American's chief executive officer and remains chairman of the board, a post he will probably have to relinquish...
...President. Kirk's conspiracy theory gained some credence when some of L.B.J.'s operatives quietly encouraged loyal California Democrats last December to promote the former Alabama Governor's drive for the 66,059 signatures he needed to get on the state's ballot. He wound up with more than 100,000, is now trying to gather the 10,000 signatures he needs to appear on the Pennsylvania ballot...
...operation may be a complete success, the surgeon may do a superb piece of needlework with sterile sutures, yet somehow the wound may still become infected just where the stitches were placed. Lord Lister, father of antisepsis and asepsis, knew this almost a century ago, and tried soaking his sutures in phenol (carbolic acid) to make them active as germ killers. But the effect wore off too soon. Surprisingly, even modern-day stainless steel sutures are almost as likely to be the site of an infection a few days after an operation...
...Manhattan last week by the New York Philharmonic, has many qualities that have made Harris, at 70, an important American composer: logical structure, transparent textures and a broad melodic sense. Yet in the performance of the somewhat underrehearsed Philharmonic-under Harris' unpracticed baton-the mainspring that should have wound the work into a powerful coil of tension remained slack. Only the opening section of the 20-minute piece, with its urgent string passages set off against barking brass, was fully effective. In the second section, an elegiac fugue turned slowly on itself, then began to meander...
...another two weeks, while Knudsen wound up his affairs at General Motors and Ford called a directors' meeting to approve his decision, the arrangements remained one of autodom's best-kept secrets. Ford shuffled able but colorless President Arjay Miller, 51, to the new post of vice chairman. As such, Miller will run Ford's finances, legal department, public relations, Washington staff and long-range planning. Knudsen, as chief operating officer, will not only control sales, product development and plant operations, but will also assume full command of the company when Chairman and Chief Executive Ford...
