...wish to speak clearly," said the letter. "I was sent here by the Morgan, Rockefeller and Du Pont groups." It was signed "Bruce Palmer," commander of U.S. forces serving with the OAS soldiers in the Dominican Republic. Printed in Patria, the leftist daily published in Santo Domingo's rebel zone, the patently phony letter protested that Palmer should not be called "second-in-command" to Brazilian General Hugo Panasco Alvim, chief of the OAS forces, and concluded: "Who would be capable of supposing that a Brazilian could give orders to a white, blonde, Protestant North American...
Wilson's nerve-racking nine months have galvanized the Opposition. Party Chairman Edward Du Cann, 41, a new Tory dark horse who had a brilliant career as a financial prodigy before turning to politics, has streamlined the Conservatives' campaign machinery, fattened their treasury for battle, and democratized the invidious, invisible ritual by which Harold Macmillan established the 14th Earl of Home as his successor in 1963. Tory strategists, busily updating party policy on every issue from foreign policy to tax reform, will soon have an election manifesto at the ready...
...Southampton's first social resident was New York Society Doctor T. Gaillard Thomas, who went there in the 1880s and recommended it to his patients. Eventually, everyone in the upper registers of society followed him. There were the Mellons, the Thaws and the Dilworths from Pittsburgh, the Du Fonts from Delaware, the Morgans and the Murrays from New York.

Some of the houses and some of the courts have gone to seed...

Not only do they hold their status because of the social standing of members, but also because they command most of the best facilities?golf courses, tennis courts, docks, private beaches and clubhouses. (Oyster Harbors' members include Paul Mellon and A. Felix du Pont Jr.) This actually causes little concern to the theatrical people and artists who summer at the unsocial lower Cape towns of Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown, or to affluent visitors who summer at fashionable Chatham, which has one of the best harbors for small-boat sailing and one of the finest golf...
...Du Pont, an institutional favorite, broke through its 1965 low last week without getting support. Small investors snapped up 80% to 90% of last week's 6,000,000-share Ford Motor Co. offering, while in 1963 the institutions grabbed up half of a similar Ford issue. The institutions were picking up a handful of stocks at bargain prices-such as Litton, Polaroid and Kresge-but mostly they just sat back and watched. Some figure that many stocks had been overpriced and were riding for a fall; others may be holding onto profits made by selling before...
