Some of the talent, like Norman Chandler's wife Buffie, is home-grown and thrives on achievement. Trim and smart (dresses by Dior and Balenciaga) at 56, Buffie Chandler first dived energetically into public life in 1935 as a volunteer at the Los Angeles Children's Hospital, inevitably became a trustee. Inevitably, too, she became a regent at the University of California, almost singlehanded rescued the foundering Hollywood Bowl concerts, collected civic committee chairmanships like baubles on a charm bracelet. It was she, says her husband, who steered the Times into its long war on the great...
Heady Promise. While Ludwig Erhard dreamed of his home-grown Sherman Act, other Europeans had been dreaming even headier dreams.

...largely of Spanish stock, and their cities. Ciudad Obregón, in the heart of the Yaqui valley, has grown from a barren crossroads to a booming city of 70,000, with modern architecture, an up-to-date airport (with cotton planted between the runways) and a home-grown crop of millionaires. The small farmer-owners, grown suddenly prosperous, make good customers for the show windows filled with gleaming new appliances and U.S.-made farm machines. Los Mochis, the sugar-mill center of the Fuerte valley, is just beginning to awaken. A new hotel is going up, and the streets...
