...drop in construction contracts; Brother Ben Dillingham, 46, was defeated last fall in a race for the U.S. Senate; and Henry Kaiser, particularly, has been giving the Dillinghams some stiff new island competition. To such challenges Lowell Dillingham brings a remarkable personal tenacity. An amateur horticulturist, he decided to grow quality apples in Hawaii, where only mediocre ones have been able to withstand the heat. When the first tree died from the heat, Lowell ordered refrigerated coils and wrapped them around the second young apple tree. It died, too-but Lowell is still pondering other ways...

The third instrument is more familiar; it is a tenor sax, and stuffed into its bell is a flute. The musician rocks back and forth on his feet as if uncertain how to begin. Then he makes his decision. He puts all three big horns in his mouth at once, and blows like a whale. What spouts forth sometimes sounds like...
Died. James David Zellerbach, 71, chairman of Crown-Zellerbach Corp., world's second largest forest-products firm, U.S. Ambassador to Italy from 1956 to 1960, a slight, bespectacled Californian, who took over the family company in 1938, helped its sales grow to nearly $600 million, found time for civic enterprises (the San Francisco Symphony, Golden Gateway redevelopment plan), served ably in a dozen public posts and produced in his private vineyard a California wine that made French diplomats swallow respectfully; of a brain tumor; in San Francisco...
