...since New York Stock Exchange President Richard Whitney was packed off to jail in the 1930s had Wall Street come under such withering scrutiny. It was bad enough that the SEC was probing the American Stock Exchange after a series of scandals (TIME, May 5 et seq.), even more disturbing that SEC investigators were working overtime on more cases of market fraud and manipulation than ever before. But last week SEC Chairman William L. Gary suggested that the whole barrel of apples had better be tumbled out and examined. Testifying before a House subcommittee, Gary urged a full-dress investigation...
Virtually every one of its models is a sales disappointment to Chrysler-a fact that Chairman Lester Lum Colbert blames chiefly on bad publicity resulting from stockholder dissension and the conflict-of-interest scandals (TIME. July 11 et seq.).

Among most, however, the reaction was merely a shrug of the shoulders--after all, most seniors need not worry about particular professors next year...
...hymn to Dostoevsky. Actually, it has as much to do with the Russian's tragic art and exact moral theorems as it has with lepidopterology or philately; the only thing it says is that Miller is excited in the presence of Dostoevsky-or Nietzsche, Nostradamus, Rabelais, et al.-just as some birds become gaga in the presence of ants, put them under their wings and flutter about in some obscure ornithological orgy...
