...growing interest of investors in dividends contrasts sharply with the atmosphere of the bull market of the '60s. Professional money managers then concentrated on price appreciation and ignored dividend yields. The star performers of those days-Xerox, Polaroid and other so-called glamor issues-paid little in dividends, yet held out the promise of higher profits and prices in the future. Now the high flyers' wings have been clipped and such laws as the Pension Reform Act of 1974 mandate a new prudence among managers who invest other people's money. Dozens of "index fund" managers...

Traditionalists can see the movie as proof that, yeah, they really do like it, and that prostitutes are just typical women who want more money to spend on clothes. Others can see it as proof...
...happen to Harry as happen to most of Hollywood's other recent Odysseuses. He gets laid, hustled, busted, and misses his bus. His daughter in Chicago coolly realizes that the closest they can come to understanding one another is argument; his son in California clutches him as his false glamor dissolves beneath him. Harry moves on, encountering young runaway girls, health food swindlers, and an Indian who cures his arthritis in return for an electric blender. He buys Tonto a Scotch in a Las Vegas casino and spends the night in jail for pissing into a potted fern...
