...business or a piece of a medium-size agency." No stranger to change, Maverick Foote in 1948 startled Madison Avenue by giving up American Tobacco's $12 million account-the fattest ever voluntarily relinquished-over a policy disagreement with its management, two years later left Foote, Cone & Belding, which he had helped found, and in 1951 joined McCann-Erickson...
Built and operated by the Tisch Hotel chain (the Traymore and Ambassador in Atlantic City, NJ.; the Belmont Plaza in Manhattan), the Americana offers such inducements as a huge, cone-shaped $300,000 terrarium in the center of the lobby (filled with orchids and rare fungi) and four restaurants with the help dressed to fit the decor, e.g., waitresses in Rose Marie operetta costumes for the Dominion of Canada Coffee House, waiters in Argentine cowboy pants for the Gaucho Steak House...
Brigadier General Don R. Ostrander, Assistant Deputy Commander of the Air Research and Development Command, disclosed that several companies are working on each of the four major components of the missiles: air frame, propulsion system, nose cone, guidance system. The project is being technically supervised by Los Angeles' young, hustling Ramo-Wooldridge Corp., headed by two top research scientists, Dr. Dean Wooldridge, 43, and Dr. Simon Ramo, 43, who seceded from Hughes Aircraft less than three years ago to found their own electronics corporation (TIME, Oct. 5, 1953). They answer directly to the Air Force's Western Development...
Although Airman Ostrander did not disclose the size of individual contracts, a solid estimate is that the Government has invested $5 billion in missiles, will spend $1.2 billion this year alone. As for progress to date, Ostrander disclosed that Lockheed has already test-flown a nose cone through and possibly beyond the ionosphere, a layer of thin air 50 to 250 miles above the earth. This indicates that the U.S. has met some success on probably the most difficult of all missile problems: re-entry into the stratosphere. Said Ostrander: "No major breakthroughs are necessary to build and launch...
...Cone was not trying to turn his daughter into an athlete. Cone, a safety director for a Teterboro, N.J. factory, taught six year-old Carin to swim for a perfectly prosaic reason: he did not want to worry when the family went holidaying on the Jersey shore. But Ray Cone knew an athlete when he saw one. Little Carin took to the water so naturally that he sent her to a swimming coach to find out how good she really was. Today, at 16, Carin is good enough to hold all four American women's backstroke titles...
