...place of rooms, the interior of the Rudolph house is divided into areas with built-in furniture and greenery-laden overlooks. Medieval brass rubbings, a 16th century refectory table, and plenty of books lend visual warmth to the house. A conversation pit in a two-storied living area gives a feeling of airport-lobby spaciousness; just over a concrete-block wall is a lower-ceilinged area whose built-in sofas and cheery fireplace make it a more popular snuggery. Rudolph, who likes to punctuate his interiors with oubliettes and galleries, has provided the Milams with a handy vantage point...
...regional headquarters for scores of national corporations, its offices and light industry stretch for miles in spanking new modernistic structures. Industrial areas have such street names as "Dividend," "Profit," and "Currency." The city spurted when East Texas oilfields came in and farsighted local bankers had the courage to lend money on the basis of oil still below ground. Now, in its frantic effort to keep up with Houston, it is building two 50-story office buildings-mostly, it seems, because Houston has the tallest west of the Mississippi in the 44-story Humble Oil Building.

That quest, in the lines from Tennyson...

To lend a note of modish company and public policy to this event, the cat's owner is a woman of color who alleges discrimination in the company's indifference to her poled pet. Before this cat is rescued, corporate structure has changed, old Edwards is as mad as Lear, two linesmen have been killed, a small boy damaged, but the company image is saved...
Hansberger kept the company healthy by merging selectively, by persuading bankers to lend him huge sums ("We've just never been turned down when we wanted to borrow," he says), and, most importantly, by luring a small army of dedicated business school graduates to Idaho. Fourteen Harvard men have followed Hansberger westward, including five this year; one recent recruit is Charles Tillinghast III, son of the president of Trans World Airlines. Working hard, the young men have revitalized the company with selling flair and bright ideas, have cracked their way into markets once considered unattainable...
