...institutions and mutual funds were coming back into the market in force, giving the hitherto neglected blue chips a handsome advance, along with the glamour stocks. But not all stocks were going up, and the 30 stocks in the Dow-Jones average did not accurately reflect the fate of many depressed stocks that are still down. Even during last week there was a sizable number of new lows for the year. Many traders believe that before the market can sustain its advance, more stocks will have to participate in the rise, and new highs will have to outnumber new lows...

Or do people buy Rauschenberg to share in his quiet protest against what they think cellophane-wrapped sort of world...
...some readers. Françoise Sagan's novels are of interest chiefly for the light they seem to reflect on their author. In Bonjour Tristesse, the light revealed a child passionately and exuberantly weary of the world, but now it shows an adult who seems tired of writing books. There is little in Author Sagan's latest (and fourth) novel worth a compliment or a damn, although readers with an ironic turn of mind may cherish the 23-year-old author's reference to "that incomparable love that comes with age." The story, hardly more than...
