...funny thing is, the end of the world is a blind shot from anywhere, and on this tour almost no attention is paid to hazards out of view, to Julius Boros' quintuple-bypass heart operation two years back or George Bayer's artificial hip joint. "The money's not a detraction, believe me," says Bayer, "and being back among old friends is great too. But the most important thing is having a place to compete again. It's a second chance at life, really." Guy Wolstenholme, 53, says, "We could all be on the scrap heap...
Some reformers may recoup part of the expense because they no longer buy duplicates of clothes they already own but cannot find. One of the most popular layouts was designed by New Yorker Anita Bayer. Lyricist Carole Bayer Sager, her daughter, and husband Composer Burt Bacharach all have one in their Beverly Hills home.

In the darkness, terrified inhabitants were shaken by 20 more blasts, including one that gutted a Bayer pharmaceutical factory, causing more than $100 million in property damage. It could have been much worse: police later discovered a mortar hidden under a bridge in range of the downtown Government Palace. Authorities believe that the terrorists intended to use it to hurl sticks of dynamite into the room where President...
Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Herbert Bayer, who both taught at the Bauhaus, brought the new graphic style to U.S. advertising studios. Says Bayer, 82, who was consultant and director of design for the Container Corp. of America from 1946 to 1965: "I told my friend Walter P. Paepcke, then Container's president, that a modern corporation should project a socially and culturally responsible personality. It should be a tastemaker and thought provoker. It should contribute to civilization." The result was Container's famous 20-year advertising campaign featuring "Great Ideas of Western Man," with illustrations by such notable...
