With Cornfeld putting up an office building and a host of new apartments to house his employees, the population of economically depressed Ferney-Voltaire has almost doubled, rising to 5,000; the town will be further enlivened by a nightclub that the flamboyant newcomer plans to establish. For the dedication of Cornfeld's new headquarters, clergymen and mayors of no fewer than 14 mountain villages were on hand.
