Abode of Instinct. Enraptured by Couelle's collection of housing icono-clasms, Beckhardt decided it might be profitable for his bank to invest in a Couelle-designed development, and he arranged to purchase the chateau and 125 acres around it. Couelle's first project was to create Old Castellaras, which he did by building 91 houses (from $30,000 to $100,000) around the chateau. Most of them looked like provincial farmhouses from the outside, were startling only in that there were a few tricky Couelle nuances inside (odd-shaped staircases, sculptured fireplaces). They sold quickly...
Rising demand, of course, does much to account for steel's snapback, but newly efficient plants help to produce the profits. Over the past decade, the industry has averaged more than $1 billion a year to expand, modernize and automate; it plans to invest $1.2 billion this year and $1.5 billion next. Last week National Steel opened a $100 million hot-strip mill near Detroit, and in Kentucky, Armco Steel brought in two new oxygen-process steel furnaces and started pouring iron from the largest blast furnace in the Western world (daily capacity: 3,340 tons). The payoff from...

Unhappily Frau Aichinger, who was in her 20s when the sealed trains were rolling toward the death camps, has chosen to invest her innocent victims with an awful kind of knowledge of what they are in for. But the tragedy of innocence is that it does not know. When invested with the wisdom-after-the-event which properly belongs to the adult survivor, the children are less than the truth -they destroy pity because they are so self-consciously aware that they are pitiable. Anyone who ever wanted to tear the epaulets off Shirley Temple's Little Colonel will...
Most of the foreign oilmen sense great potential for Argentina and want to invest even more now that the nation's worst political crisis seems to be abating (see THE HEMISPHERE). As for the contracts, Dr. Illia last week was sounding less fiery as president-elect than he did on the stump. He was beginning to talk about renegotiation instead of outright annulment...
