Eccles conceded that, through the Eccles Investment Co., his family owns 44% of the stock of First Security Corp. of Ogden (Utah), which advertises itself as "the largest banking institution in the intermountain states." But he insisted that that had nothing to do with his fear that Transamerica was a monopoly...

Perhaps the easiest villian to overlook is the citizen whose home or commercial establishment fronts on a street in the vicinity of the Square. Essentially, easy winter walking depends upon a good neighbor policy of shoveling sidewalks immediately after a snowfall. In chilly New England a quick job in this respect alone can prevent the formation of an icy coating which will remain until the thaw...
