Readers of FORTUNE have long admired its lively, accurate maps, which by skillful use of color and three-dimensional perspective make a country jut up from the printed page as though it were in relief. Wiry, kinetic Richard Edes Harrison, their maker, drifted into cartography via scientific and architectural training and seven years of industrial design. Last week an exhibition of his maps went on display at Yale University...
Waite Phillips is a jut-jawed, beetle-browed Oklahoma oiligarch who likes portmanteau words based on his name.

At the 1930 stockholders' meeting, a police cordon was needed to keep the scrap verbal. That year Charles Guth collected enough proxies to make himself president. In 1935, embattled President Guth resigned. Instead of ending, the Guth-Loft squabble thereupon entered a new and noisier phase...
