Over the new skyline of Hartford, Conn., hangs a big, bright red umbrella -symbolically, at least. The umbrella is the emblem of the Travelers Insurance Companies, which played a major part in making the skyline possible with a $40 million investment in office buildings, a hotel, a shopping center and garages. In its 100 years, the U.S.'s largest stock insurance company (it is fourth among all insurance firms) has also reshaped the skyline of the $178 billion insurance industry, introducing such firsts as double indemnity and automobile insurance. Last week Travelers did some internal reshaping. Into its vacant...
...avoids the louder noises of militancy, it does not out of cowardice, but because it finds the civilizing process rather pleasant and the prospects at least faintly hopeful. The magazine's emblem catches this spirit, juxtaposing the momentous date, 1914, against an elaborate sketch of an unwieldly Spanish galleon.

At Miami Stadium, 30 khaki-clad survivors of the Bay of Pigs marched across the rain-soaked baseball diamond to present Miller with a "revered emblem"-a gold-knobbed flagstaff representing their Battalion 2506.

After 17 months in office, Pearson is beset on all sides-not only by Diefenbaker's Conservatives but also by angry squabbles over federal v. provincial powers, and most particularly by a deeply divided, mutually antagonistic population...
...Triple A Kansas City Blues, where he responded by hitting .3 1 3 in 1947, .305 in 1948, and batted even higher with the pretty club secretary, Charlene Friede; they were married in the fall of 1949. By then, Bauer was already the proud possessor of the most cherished emblem in baseball: a set of pinstriped Yankee flannels. Called up in the final weeks of the 1948 pennant race, he arrived like a rookie's dream: three singles in his first three trips to the plate. The sad awakening came later. In all of September, Hank managed to collect...
