...international set pieces-Paulette Goddard flashing rubies and diamonds, Hope Hampton flashing silver sequins, Aristotle Onassis flashing Jacqueline. But there were signs, too, that the times they are achanging. A disk jockey has replaced the orchestra. Dinner is a prix fixe $8.50-less than the average tip in the Elmo's of the '30s and '40s-for the new El Morocco is a private, nonprofit club (initiation fee $500, dues $200). When somebody proposed a toast to Elmo's late founder John Perona, at least one young Ms. whispered, "Who's that...
...Tank. For all of Cushman's rugged virtues, there were many in the Marines and in the Pentagon-including, some think, Chief of Naval Operations Elmo Zumwalt Jr. and Army Chief of Staff William Westmoreland-who would have preferred someone else in the top Marine slot.

In addition, Navy men point out, advanced models...

Roper first realized the value of polls in the late 1920s, when he became an ace clock salesman by sampling the tastes of his customers. He co-founded a New York market-research firm in 1933 and then became the first pollster to adapt scientific sampling techniques in forecasting an election; he predicted F.D.R.'s 1936 plurality within one percentage point of the popular vote.
