...wise arbitration panel, mindful of the public interest, might say: Let management drop its bungled demand for authority to change work practices; let the union accept management's demand for a noninflationary wage settlement keyed to productivity. But past performances of federal mediation boards suggest that the panel may split the difference between the industry's 2.7%-a-year package and McDonald's demands, which the industry estimates at 5% a year. Such an outcome would stir a new ripple of price increases. Predicted a high steel executive last week: "If a third party writes the settlement...
Town Without Trees. In the past decade, a million Arabs have huddled in camps in the Arab lands encircling Israel. They are, hostages to Arab governments' bitter reluctance to admit the existence of Israel or to prejudice the refugees' claim to what was once their homeland by the slightest gesture toward resettlement. And they are hostages also to the hard line of the Israeli government, which ingathers hundreds of thousands of Jews from all over the world but has no space to take back the Palestinian Arabs who once lived there (Israel at one time agreed to resettle...
Another "scandal," says Harvard Economist Seymour E. Harris, is proliferation of college courses. By his count, undergraduate courses at eleven top institutions have jumped from 12,000 to 39,000 in the past 55 years. Result: too many small classes.

She filed a petition in bankruptcy and went out to Colorado to pull herself together on a friend's ranch. Later, there were a few moments of notoriety: she stirred up the town of Sterling, Colo, by consenting to appear at a high school dance; she sued Columbia Pictures for a million dollars, claiming that the movie Gilda was an invasion of her privacy...
...proud of his Don Juandering, but by the time he reached his 40s he was forced to slow down. From 1953 until his death, he spent most of his time "aging in the ports and capitals of southern Europe," drinking, bragging, anxious about his "unique physique" and his past performances: "Since my teens I have gone to bed twelve or fourteen thousand nights." He recalls fondly how he kept busy ducking alimony payments, reminisces bravely about the time he kicked Hedda Hopper, curses Hollywood for being "the ruin of creative personalities" like his own.
