...experience of the world, wrote. "I have traveled a good deal in Concord.'' Like Thoreau. Andrew Wyeth detests the idea of venturing beyond his own familiar Walden. He has traveled a good deal in Chadds Ford, Pa., where he spends his winters, and in rugged Port Clyde, Me., where he goes in summer...
...Onto the board of New York's embattled Alleghany Corp. went Bertin Clyde Gamble, 64, the ex-Minnesota farm boy who heads the $140 million-a-year Gamble-Skogmo merchandising chain. Gamble, who recently bought 1,500,000 shares of Alleghany stock from Texas wheeler-dealers John Murchison and his brother Clint Jr., could yet emerge as the big winner in the feud between the Murchisons and New Jersey Financier Allan P. Kirby, who still owns 33% of Alleghany's common. Like Kirby and the Murchisons, Gamble is interested in Alleghany because it owns 47% of Minneapolis...
Since work began in May, volunteer chapel builders have put in more than 500 hours of hard labor on Saturdays, Thursday evenings, and early mornings, mostly on such relatively simple tasks as painting and pouring concrete.

Even in the sunniest of weather, the championship 7,045-yd. course is a clutching jungle of harsh gorse, spiny Scotch broom and impenetrable whin bushes. Ditchlike burns and sheerfaced bunkers...
Like the Murchisons. From cotton and cheap housing, Estes rapidly branched out into many other businesses-selling fertilizer and farm implements, digging wells, lining irrigation ditches, providing other agricultural services. He even founded a funeral parlor, thereby fulfilling a prophecy in the 1943 Clyde High School yearbook that he would become an undertaker. In the Estes manner, it was a grandiose establishment, far too fancy for Pecos, and it lost money...
