...part of Fairchild Camera's magic lies in the man who lent it-and several other companies-his name: Sherman Mills Fairchild, 64. Fairchild talks about his present and future products with all the excitement of a 20-year-old with his first sports car. He is the epitome of the new scientist-businessman-inventor who is the driving force behind the success of the growth and glamour stocks. Cut from the same Yankee tinkerer mold as Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, he never got an engineering degree-yet has more than two dozen patents...
...genius behind Polaroid's success, bright-eyed, boyish-looking "Din" Land, likes to spend much of his time in his lab in Cambridge, Mass., where he works endlessly on new ideas.

Growth companies have not only created a new breed of management millionaires but have added some hefty figures to existing fortunes. Millionaire Laurance Rockefeller, a backer of Bos ton's Itek Corp. and its biggest stock holder, bought 259,765 shares at an average cost of $1.41.

...behavior merely confuses his feral companions has once again proved to be unfilmable.

A good deal of the plot, including the murder of Nas-tasia Filipovna, has been left out, presumably for clarity. What...
...present version was fitted together from pieces of several prints discovered after a long search of Europe. It is unquestionably an antique, with scratchy sound, uncertain lighting and a mannered kind of acting carried over from the silent films.. But it is not the sort of antique that must be watched with embarrassment. Lotte Lenya, as Jennie, is gawkily charming, and such Kurt Weill-Bert Brecht songs as Mack the Knife and Pirate Jenny retain their peculiar combination of sentiment and cynicism, even when filtered through English subtitles. Viewers who have seen the English stage version that has played...
