The college was designed by Danish Architect Arne Jacobsen, 62, creator of Copenhagen's glass-packaged Royal Hotel, who believes that "economy plus function equals style."

Winnett, 83, chairman and co-founder of the West Coast's Bullock's department stores, fought alone to rally stockholders against a merger with Federated Department Stores, the nation's biggest chain.

For the sake of Nazi recognition, scores of nonparty papers agreed to print Nazi propaganda free and to take no ads from Jews. By way of disaster insurance, dozens of German advertisers cynically bought space in official Nazi organs. The German people were partly to blame, for they did not support the few honest papers that warned what Hitler...
