ABSTRACT

Certainly one of the most popular, perhaps the most popular-of the weekly public affairs series appearing on national public television, "Wall Street Week," is a strikingly aloof, yet spirited, Friday evening appraisal of the world of investments conducted, with an elegance that occasionally borders on disdain, by a former newspaperman and network newscaster named Louis Rukeyser. The trip to Owings Mills from Wall Street, or anywhere else in the vicinity of New York City, is not a particularly easy or agreeable one, involving, as it does, a three hour drive, a forty-five-minute flight, or a two and a half hour train ride, followed in the second or third case by a long additional taxi or automobile ride to Owings Mills.
