...Robert Hooks. J.T. is trying desperately to grow up in Harlem amidst peeling paint, dank buildings, rubbish-filled lots and a way of life that is guaranteed to turn any American Dream into a nightmare. He steals a transistor radio, then befriends a decrepit street cat. He is set upon by two older boys determined to steal the radio from...
...beds" started slowly enough. First there were the "come-come" models-twins that shot together at the flick of a button. Soon came the "miracle series," or circular double beds, each installed on a turntable on the floor and surrounded by such inbred in-bed necessities as a TV set, refrigerator, hi-fi and completely stocked bar.

Some would have preferred a burst of aggressive selling that might have cleaned out the pessimists and set the stage for a price rally-instead of the fairly steady, day-by-day erosion of prices on fairly light trading volume. Prices were weak principally because investors had the feeling that inflation was not being defeated and that the Government would have to continue strangling credit and pursuing other constrictive policies that...
