...outside eye, this chariot full of gold seems to be hauled by a troika of executives, and there is considerable uncertainty as to who is lead horse. There is handsome, coldly decisive James Aubrey, president of the CBS-TV network, who last week anted up $28.2 million for TV rights for the 1964 and 1965 National Football League regular games, outbidding both NBC and ABC. There is Dr. Frank Stanton, who is president of Columbia Broadcasting System-in which Aubrey's CBS-TV is only one of seven divisions (CBS Radio, Columbia Records, etc.). Unquestioned boss man is William...
...always been splendid in movies, from Kind Hearts and Coronets to Ben-Hur, in which he won an Oscar as the mock-sinister Sheik Ilderim, whose fine white horses won the chariot race. He first earned wide recognition on the West End stage as the leering General St. Pé in Anouilh's Waltz of the Toreadors, and on Broadway as Thomas Wolfe's father in Look Homeward, Angel.

So he seldom stops to think about it, zipping around golf courses or around the world, giving the winged chariot a run for its money. This has made him a transient in his own home. He jokes that the towels in his bathroom say HERS and WELCOME STRANGER. His wife spends most of her time working for Catholic charities. They have four children. The oldest, Anthony, is a student at Harvard Law. Gradually...
Once he made his discovery, Dr. Pruitt began a loud vocal opposition to the AEC's Project Chariot, which was a plan to use nuclear explosives to blast a spacious harbor in the Alaskan coast. The side effects, he said, would harm the Eskimos even more. Although he was fired from the university, he continued to make all the noise he could about the danger of feeding more fallout into the Eskimo food chain. The AEC's present management now watches the Eskimos carefully and measures their body burden as it creeps ever higher...
