Most lavish is the Greenbrier Clinic, set up in a wing of the Greenbrier Hotel in 1948 by the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. Now, 45 big companies send their executives to the Greenbrier periodically for a leisurely, three-day checkup on the company (cost: $100, plus hotel-room charges). Executives may take their wives (many clients foot the hotel bill for wives too) and play golf or swim between medical examinations.

"There may be the Republican presidential ticket in 1952," said a reporter. "They might just toss a coin to see who gets top place." He was talking about California's Governor Earl Warren and Pennsylvania's Governor James Duff...

Last week, only twelve days after he got on the Terminal trail, Galbreath bought the group for an estimated $6,000,000 in cash from Bob Young's Pathe Industries, Inc. Galbreath thus got control of six buildings (including the 52-story Tower) worth an estimated $30 million and with a net income (before taxes) of about $2,250,000 a year.
