...story John Hancock Center was opened, and at 1,127 ft. it ranked as the world's second tallest building, after Manhattan's 1,250-ft. Empire State Building. Early this year Standard Oil (Indiana) unfurled plans to put up a Chicago headquarters that, when finished in 1972, will be 9 ft. taller than the John Hancock. Last week Sears, Roebuck & Co. announced that it will build the tallest skyscraper of them all, bigger even than the 1,350-ft.

Lee's horse, Traveller, is 147 ft. from nose to tail; those so inclined, says Hancock, "could ride a horse along Traveller's back."
