Nixon's estimate of Connally as an economics expert struck some professionals as odd; the man is simply not known in New York financial circles. Bradbury K. Thurlow, an investment analyst with Wall Street's Hoppin, Watson & Co., said of Connally: "I never knew that he knew how to add and subtract." Several of Connally's predecessors however agreed privately that financial expertise is not a primary prerequisite, so long as Connally retains the Treasury's skillful top technicians or picks other equally competent experts to guide...
...believe that anyone as self-centered as the Von Furstenberg character could have nursed Evy through drinking bout after drinking bout, as she claims to have done. Maureen Stapleton gives a high-strung, neurotically personal performance, but we can never relate the woman onstage with the poster on the wall that says she once sang in Carnegie Hall.

Harper & Row has already published one of its special reports as a paperback. Borrowing the methods of securities analysts, the Council's staff of 20 interviews company officials, spot-checks the results for accuracy (both in the field and with outside specialists) and then compiles its surveys. So far, C.E.P. has issued six reports, covering corporate performance in military contracting, minority...
Scientists seem to find the creatures fascinating. "I can hardly walk into an observatory anywhere without seeing one on the wall," Menzel said. Science-fiction fans also delight in the martians, and Galaxy Magazine published a large color section of them last year...
