...Aspen Institute, a 7,800-ft. aerie in the Rockies west of Denver, is a nonprofit resort for the mind-and-muscle renewal of U.S. leaders in business, labor and government. It is the brain child of the late Chicago industrialist Walter Paepcke, creator of Container Corp. and inspirer of its "Great Ideas of Western Man" advertisements. Now chaired and cheered by Southwest Banker-Rancher Robert O. Anderson, the institute has just elected a renowned resident president: Alvin C. Eurich, head of the Ford Foundation's Fund for the Advancement of Education, and inventor of the Aspen Award...
...higher cash crops. Over protests of the sugar growers, Paiewonsky is urging the federally run Virgin Islands Corp. to close the islands' one creaky sugar mill. "Vicorp" itself is negotiating a long-term lease of 1,700 acres of government-owned and money-losing sugar fields to Big Industrialist Daniel K. Ludwig (TIME, Aug. 2).

When she suddenly turned into a devout Callas admirer, gossipmongers inevitably asked each other in what language Callas' husband, Industrialist Giovanni Battista Meneghini, had talked to Elsa. Maxwell readers also thrilled to a three-year feud with the Duchess of Windsor, which had its well-publicized happy ending aboard the United States on Easter Sunday...
...imperturbable New Englander and onetime assistant Manhattan district attorney under Thomas Dewey, Tillinghast took over TWA in 1961 after Industrialist Howard Hughes was forced by the airline's lenders to put his 78.2% ownership of TWA in trust. When Hughes began sniping at the new administration, Tillinghast tied him into legal knots with an antitrust suit. He arranged additional financing for more jets, flew the line constantly to check on service, and shifted TWA's image from that of a tourist's to a businessman's airline...
