...sold out - except for Mary Sondek, an elderly mother of six, who lived in a two-story gingerbread house on a 170-ft. by 50-ft. corner plot. Assuming that she was simply waiting until the price was right, Macy's went ahead with plans for a circular stadium-sized store whose perimeter would cut a small corner off the far end of the widow's backyard. Not even $200,000 could budge Mrs. Sondek, and today the store stands just months away from completion with a 5-ft.-deep, 21-ft.-wide notch in its otherwise unbroken...

...ordered the firing of Manager Yogi Berra when it bought control of the New York Yankees? No. Did CBS intend to enclose Yankee Stadium with a dome similar to Houston's new Astrodome? Emphatically no. Had CBS bought Comedian Jackie Gleason's $300,000 circular home as "a reducing spa for tired executives?" No, said Paley, it had bought the house to "induce Mr. Gleason to stay on CBS." Paley kept calm, but the audience was clearly irritated.
