...rose rapidly through a succession of lending jobs, many of them involving the financing of corporate mergers and takeovers. Clausen owes his big promotion partly to the fact that he is eleven years younger than his chief rival, Executive Vice President Clarence Baumhefner. The bank has been moving up young executives fast, a trend that Clausen has helped to further. Though he usually lunches with customers, he saves a couple of lunches a month to become better acquainted with younger managers. "The managers of tomorrow will be far younger than the managers of today," he says. "This...
...recalls that his immediate reaction to the Cupid's Quiver assignment was "total shock." But, he adds, "once I looked into it more, I began to see it was possible." Marsteller tested the product, the name and the advertising on four panels of women, from conservative matrons to young "sophisticates" (including a movie producer's daughter and a topless dancer).

Ben runs away to Chicago, sin city, carnival to a million peculators in wheat, meat and railways. Pickpockets, exposure and starvation nearly do him in until the boy comes under the wing of a municipal madam named Queen Lil (Melina Mercouri). Lil's most valued...
Half Child, Half Sage. At the outset, it seemed that only luck could have chosen Darwin for his job aboard the Beagle. The fox-hunting son of a prosperous Shrewsbury doctor, the young man proved a dud at school and at Cambridge. At 22, he seemed destined for what Victorians frankly called "a living" in the church. Only a chance friendship with the Rev. Professor J. S. Henslow of Cambridge, a botanist, led to Darwin's recommendation as the Beagle's naturalist. Chance, plus a certain amount of charm, determined that he hit it off immediately with...
