...Intelligence in World War II and was wounded twice while in the European theater. Harris moved to Miami in 1947. By 1957, his clients included two of Havana's better hotels, the Nacional and the Riviera, and his firm was a natural to win a $1,600,000-a-year contract from the Cuban government in the summer of 1959 to attract tourists to Cuba...
...Horseflesh. Bringing buyer and seller together is the job of white-haired Humphrey Finney, 58. who rules Fasig-Tipton Co., an $8,500,000-a-year horse-trading enterprise that extends from Saratoga to stud farms in England. France, Australia and South America. After 24 years as an auctioneer and "pitchman."

No sooner had the regents agreed last week than President Snyder resigned his own $24,000-a-year job. Said...

Ousted from his $125,000-a-year job as general manager of General Electric's turbine division, Ginn a month ago accepted the relatively humble position of assistant to McClure Kelley, president of Philadelphia's Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corp., makers of heavy machinery. Last week, Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton moved Kelley up to board chairman and Ginn (pronounced as in "begin") into...
