...went out of business. As small firms vanish, giant combines rich enough to build on a huge scale are taking over. Big corporations such as ITT are increasingly joining forces with builders-often by merger, sometimes through joint ventures. Last year, for example, Westinghouse Electric acquired Florida's Coral Ridge Properties and is now busy building a city for 60,000 residents near Fort Lauderdale. Pennsylvania Railroad's Macco Realty Co. is developing an 87,500-acre Rancho California community near Los Angeles with Kaiser Industries and Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corp. American Standard Inc., the nation...
Anguilla is hardly the proper setting for revolution. A 34-sq.-mi. coral dot in the Leeward Islands east of Puerto Rico, the island has rested languidly for 300 years under British rule. Without electricity or telephones, the 5,000 Anguillans earn a meager living from fishing, working a salt pond and occasional smuggling.

More important, it has become the port of entry for nearly 90% of the country's oil supplies. The Strait of Tiran, where coral reefs and the hulk of an ancient sunken ship make passage difficult under the best conditions, is easy for the Egyptians to control. Their announcement that they would turn back only ships bearing "strategic" goods to Israel was ambiguous enough to keep everybody guessing. At least three ships headed...
...first effort as a bright young Harper editor after the war, Thomas edited Coral Comes High, a Pacific battle memoir by Marine Captain George P. Hunt, now LIFE'S managing editor. Ever since, Thomas has tirelessly pursued "instant history." Once he decides a man is worth a book, Thomas never lets him forget it. Well before the Kennedy assassination, he encouraged Theodore Sorensen to write a book. "When Sorensen finally decided to leave the White House," he says, "I was sitting on his doorstep...
