...looking 4,200-ton contraption in West Germany's Audorf shipyards (on the Kiel Canal) last week, made towlines fast and headed to sea, outward bound for the Persian Gulf, 6,800 miles away. No ordinary barge, the contraption bristled with a 140-ft. derrick, a crane, a heliport, had air-conditioned quarters for 50 men. Built at a cost of $3,500,000, it was the most advanced mobile oil-drilling platform ever built, and a device that its owners, British Petroleum Co. and Compagnie Franchise de Petroles, hope will open up a huge new oilfield...
...around. A fantastic corps of 4,000 reporters, pundits, photographers, radio and television performers, spielsmen and technicians (almost double the number in 1952) will swarm around Chicago's International Amphitheatre employing 400 veteran telegraphers to transmit 600,000 words an hour, sending photo plates whirlybirding from a rooftop heliport, poking television's Cyclopic eye into every nook and cranny of the amphitheatre (see RADIO...
Stoking the momentum at P. & L. last week was $700 million worth of uncompleted work, ranging from IBM's new $4,500,000 West Coast headquarters in Los Angeles to a mammoth Union Oil center, designed around a diamond-shaped office building with a heliport and four floors of underground parking for 1,500 cars. In addition, the partners last week won a contract to master-plan a long-range, $5,000,000 remodeling program at Los Angeles' Occidental College, started work on a 100-room addition to the Disneyland hotel, and a $40 million Los Angeles slum...
...build an even bigger project on Manhattan's West Side. This time, the idea is to redevelop 40 acres between Pennsylvania Station and the Hudson River, create a $300 million-$500 million city of the future, with a vast merchandise mart, a permanent World's Fair, a heliport, a glittering television city, a parking lot for 20,000 cars, and a 1,750-foot "Freedom Tower" for, as Zeckendorf put it, "defense observation and other activities." With a target date of 1960, Zeckendorf announced that New York Central Chairman Robert R. Young had offered to help out with...
...organizer. Between fishing trips and serving as king of the Mardi Gras, he found time to establish the Ochsner Clinic, which he built into a "Mayos' of the South," and a hospital operated by the Ochsner Foundation. The hospital is so modern that it has its own heliport, largely to receive casualties from tidewater oil rigs. Along the way, Lung Surgeon Alton Ochsner has become a leader in the medicosurgical fight against cigarette smoking as a cause of lung cancer. He makes as many speeches (professional) as a man who says he is not running for the presidency...
