...America"; "And the Poor Get Poorer"), was castigated in Newsweek's own pages by Columnist Milton Friedman for giving a "most misleading impression." The following week's cover billed the "final days" of Leonid Brezhnev, and based the story on an unconfirmed report of a stroke supposedly suffered by the Soviet President. Said an upset Newsweek staffer recently: "The guy's still alive and planning to go to summit meetings, but weeks ago we buried him." Newsweek's June 7 cover called attention to a significant school of contemporary painting, realism. But the illustration, by distinguished...
Nixon's best stroke of comparative public relations has arisen from disclosures that, almost since the invention of recording tape, Presidents have surreptitiously recorded conversations in the Oval Office. Franklin Roosevelt did it. Dwight Eisenhower did it. John Kennedy did it. The new knowledge of such taping has helped Nixon's negotiation with history, or at least his case in the public perception.

Chrysler has no strong line of muscle cars, but Iacocca has come up with a similar stroke of marketing savvy-the return of the convertible.

At any rate, I was never invited to join Robbed of the chance for snubbing and reverse snubbing in one stroke. I vowed not only never to step inside but also to slur the Signet on every appropriate occasion. They are pledges I have kept...
With all the formidable artistry of her craft, the actress fashions a character of insatiable sensuality. If this production had a subtitle, it could be By Lust Possessed. Caldwell's gestures are endlessly provocative. Her hands urgently stroke her upper thighs; when she slips to the floor, she writhes orgiastically. True, she has been driven half mad since her royal lover Jason (Mitchell Ryan) cast her off in favor of King Creon's daughter. But she seems to miss past days of glory less than past nights in Jason...
