After reading the article on Carl Strandlund and the Lustron home [TIME, July 4], I would say that Preston Tucker hadn't used his head in financing his auto company. Tucker apparently squandered about $28 million belonging to various private individuals and he has the Government and half the newspapers and magazines in the country on his neck. Carl Strandlund "has spent" $32.5 million in a period of about two years, apparently needs $3,000,000 more, is all set to spend another $1,000,000 a month...
Last week, in the courtyard of Des Moines' handsome new Art Center, lowans gaped at a bronze stallion the likes of which had never been seen before. Mounted in the center of a spacious reflecting pool was the latest work of Swedish Sculptor Carl Milles, a magnificent, larger-than-life Pegasus. Broad-beamed, with hefty wings spread, it zoomed through space at the angle of a sloop in a summer squall. Soaring precariously above was the horse's 1,000-lb. bronze rider, Greek adventurer Bellerophon (see cut), with arms outstretched and nine stout bolts through one foot...

The tune was less catchy, but Leslie Records' Brooklyn Dodgers Jump was already in its second pressing of 25,000 copies. Reason: three Dodgers, Pitchers Ralph Branca and Erv Palica and Outfielder Carl Furillo, backed by an Ebbets Field chorus, were the recording artists...
More Mustard, Please. No matter what they looked like, one thing was clear. Lustron, as Gunderson's testimony revealed, was simply RFC under another name. When Lustron's persuasive President Carl G. Strandlund (who lives at Columbus, Ohio, in a frame house, with an adjoining Lustron guesthouse) proposed his program three years ago, RFC turned it down. Wilson Wyatt, then Federal Housing administrator, quit in protest. Presidential Assistant John Steelman stepped in and asked RFC to reconsider. RFC did so; it set Lustron on its feet with a $15.5 million loan (Strandlund & associates raised $840,000). Within...
