Some 50 original designs were winnowed to three, of which Farah Diba selected one created by Pierre Arpels, 47, managing director of the Paris branch of Van Cleef & Arpels.

Shuffling the team near the top, Ford named as executive vice president (for finance) a longtime staffer who was one of the original postwar whiz kids: J. Edward Lundy, 52. To replace Charles H. Patterson, who retires next month at 65, Ford chose Mustang Man Lee lacocca (TIME cover, April 17, 1964), now head of Ford's car and truck group. As executive vice president, lacocca, who turns 43 this week, will run all Ford auto operations in North America...
