...members are averse to such change. They prize the clubby atmosphere of the high marble halls where the tie that binds is mostly old school. The membership, at last count, included four former cabinet members (Hogg, Maudling, Sandys and Thorneycroft), more than 50 M.P.s, mainly Tory, Tycoons Charles Clore and Sir Isaac Wolfson, Lord Harlech, five dukes, eight marquesses, 39 earls, 90 knights and 113 baronets...
...Financial Times last week, it would be easy to get the impression that the country "has gone merger-mad." In the last decade, the number of corporate mergers in Britain has increased from roughly 300 a year to more than 800. Britain's takeover tycoon, Charles Clore, having brought together the shoe industry in his British Shoe Corp., has added to it the Lewis's Investment Trust, a department-store chain, for which he paid almost $180 million.

(before Cotton), in 1960 merged with London Financier Charles Clore to form the world-girdling, $1 billion City Centre Properties Ltd. (whose assets include 50% of Manhattan's Pan Am building), but soon found Clore a bore and, seriously ill, sold out to the Clore corps last year; of a heart attack; in Nassau...
...outsiders who begin as shareholders eventually move into actual property ownership by buying a Rassco enterprise and letting Rassco manage it for a fee. Nazareth's new buildings, for example, are largely owned by Memphis, Tenn., investors. With Rassco, several British millionaires, including Sir Isaac Wolfson and Charles Clore, jointly own G.U.S.-Rassco Ltd., a company affiliate that sets up small industries. Stern is happy to sell off enterprises quickly; sales give foreign investors material and emotional ties to Israel and, more importantly in a capital-short nation, provide funds for further enterprises. Already, although the Tel Aviv skyscraper...
