Rick Braddock believes he can double consumer bank earnings of over $400-million in the next five years at Citicorp, one of the largest banks in the world, according to a cover story in Business Week. Rick, who heads up that area for Citi, said most of the new earnings will come from the international consumer business, private banking, savings and loans, insurance, and mortgages. Credit cards are slow but healthy, and the New York branch system is going fine. The individual or consumer bank is turning out to be chairman John Reed's "secret weapon for the future,"
says the magazine. Rick, whose photo made the article as part of Reed's "Ateam," was portrayed as an intense tennis player whose partners have included former Citicorp chairman Walter Wriston
and Secretary of State George Schultz. Rick also found time to serve as corporate chairman of the 1986 Academy of Women Achievers, sponsored by the New York YWCA.
Rick's college roommate Paul Binder researched seasonal fairs and festivals from around the world for the 1986 Christmas version of the Big Apple Circus in New York, wrote the Times. When the formal circus began in England in the 1780s and 17905, they often drew performers from marketplace fairs and festivals, Paul told the paper. "We're in the process of educating our audience to the fact that circus is much more than they've been told all their lives, that it comes out of a very deep and complex theatrical history."
Bob Greenwood's two-man theater and dance Sun-Ergos touring company ended another successful tour of Great Britain, where they presented "Hibakusha Twilight," a sober look at the twilight peace "we have all lived in since Hiroshima-Nagasaki." Reviewing Sun-Ergos at the Edinburgh Festival, the Daily Telegraph said "Hibakusha Twilight" "went far beyond anything these artists have achieved in the past, bringing together their complementary talents in an extraordinary combination of power and subtlety." SunErgos is based in Calgary, Canada.
