Besides being the largest single owner of Du Pont and one of the richest men in America, Copeland is also a chemist and a financial expert who believes in Andrew Carnegie's dictum: "Put all your eggs in one basket, and watch them."

In this issue, flat means not spare but listless, even flabby, and free means not spontaneous and natural but formless, thoughtless, and overly moody...
...that there was a subject for a cover story. Choosing the city and the individual and the right time was not quite so easy, but the happy choice came to Philadelphia. Edmund Bacon and this week. The major reporting for the cover story was done by a bona fide expert in the field: Gurney Breckenfeld, former managing editor of HOUSE & HOME and co-author of The Human Side of Urban Renewal (Ives Washburn: 1960.), who recently joined the TIME staff. While Breckenfeld spent eight days casting a critical eye on old and new Philadelphia, Senior Editor A. T. Baker, Writer...
