...company sees things differently. Although its headquarters are in Leuven, where AB InBev can trace its brewing roots back to 1366, the firm's power brokers are Brazilian investment bankers who manage a global empire with a workforce of 120,000 and more than 200 brands of beer, including Beck's, Labatt, Bass and Löwenbräu. It has expanded rapidly, following a series of rapacious mergers and acquisitions in recent years, most notably its takeover of Budweiser brewer Anheuser-Busch in 2008 - after which InBev became AB InBev.

...Although Modernism's popularity has been a boon to tourist-depleted Palm Springs, the city itself has been slow at times to preserve its own architectural wonders. As recently as 2003, the demolition of the historic (circa 1948) Biltmore Hotel was easily green-lit. The Oasis Hotel, a masterpiece built in 1925 by Lloyd Wright (Frank's son), is now simply an obscure, nonfunctioning Art Deco tower left standing in the city's downtown. More than half a dozen other historic Palm Springs inns have also been razed in recent years...
