...contracts give YPF all the oil and, upon expiration in 20-30 years, the wells themselves. To come in on such terms, the companies demanded and got a fast payoff. For getting YPF's oil out of the ground and to the wellhead, the Carl M. Loeb, Rhoades group, investing $100 million, will get 70% of the world oil price until its investment is amortized. 15-20% after that.

...Lousy, Huh?" After six years, Hollywood was beginning to pall in other ways, too. "The studios wanted to give me the Monroe-type sex buildup," she says. "I wanted to develop my acting, not my body." When TV Actor Richard Basehart recommended Anne to Producer Fred Coe as an ideal Gittel for Two for the Seesaw, Anne was only too anxious to try. She was going East for a sister's wedding anyway; she read the play and decided that she would impress Coe, not by acting, but by being Gittel. "I made sure he found me with...

A beautiful old pine grove in Peking, for instance, smells rather like a subway rest room on disinfectant day. Besides, the odors are strong enough to give a bloodhound a headache.
