...jail atop Berkeley's two-story, grey stucco Hall of Justice the old crook, with the air of a man whose lifework was done, was garrulous about his career. Back in 1920, arrested for stealing a car, he learned safecracking from a fellow convict during a seven-year stretch in the New Mexico State Penitentiary in Santa Fe. Parry had stolen around $250,000 in his career, he bragged, and he had pulled 250 jobs. He didn't feel he had been greedy. Said he: "You've got to make a lot to get along. There...

One of them, representing Tlaloc the rain god, is a face formed of two writhing snakes, set so as to be reflected in a sunken pool. The tower of the god of air is so designed that a chill draft eddies through...
...Round Hill Club where "Tripper," as some golf partners call him, plays up to 36 holes a day, usually shooting in the low 80s. In the summers the Trippes take their 16-year-old daughter, Betty, and three young sons, Charles, John and Edward, to a rambling, grey-shingled house on the ocean's edge at East Hampton, L.I., where Trippe likes to swim and surffish with the boys, exercising hard to work off tension. In winter the whole family occasionally goes skiing in a body...
