...weeks ago Dr. Raver took on his Biggest private adversary first. He was bald, thin-nosed Donald C. Barnes, president of Engineers Public Service, which owns Puget Sound Power & Light. No amateur fighter is Utilitycoon Barnes ; for 35 years his company has fought off purchase by Seattle City Light. But when Raver offered to buy out Puget Sound, Veteran Barnes (with Wendell Willkie's experience to guide him) knew the only real question would be price. Raver had another new weapon: SEC's tentative integration plan for E. P. S. (issued this month) implies that Puget Sound...
...national emblems, the Harding-faced, carrion-rending bald eagle and the noble, hunchbacked bison are as familiar to Americans as Washington's profile or Lincoln's warts. Last week another great indigenous candidate for national beast got his first boost. He was the Texas Longhorn. His boosters were Texan Author James Frank Dobie and Texan Artist Tom Lea.

One of the greatest things Disney offers an artist is the discipline of having to sell his stuff by making definite and specific statements...
...Bald, tight-lipped Henry J. Kaiser is one of those American industrial geniuses that average Americans are prone to take for granted until the country gets in a jam. A fabulously successful engineer, he refuses to believe in clocks or calendars. When he turned 50, he started counting his birthdays backwards; outside of his family, no one knows how old he is now. Within the limits of the day's 24 hours, he manages to be president of 15 companies and director of 20 more-and active in every one of his 35 jobs. Although his engineering feats...
