" For the next dozen years, blonde, blue-eyed Columnist Edwards was as sassy as she could be for Lord Beaverbrook's bustling Daily Express (circ. 4,084,603).

At his Hesperia development at the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains, the population grew from about 700 in 1954 to more than 4,000 now. Acre lots that sold for as low as $795 four years ago are now worth $6,000.
