...others in the running-John Lindsay, Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty and Republican Representative Paul McCloskey-only Yorty has received a number of substantial individual gifts. His main supporter is his campaign manager, Sam Bretzfield, a Los Angeles garment manufacturer. Charles Luckman, the architectural mogul, is another big contributor. Lindsay, on the other hand, is running out of pocket and wooing New York moneyed liberal Republicans; he has deserted their party, but Lindsay aides are still counting on their support...
...Even a Shoe. Blanda has been getting his kicks in pro football ever since 1949 when he joined the Chicago Bears and played with such venerable old fry as Sid Luckman and Bulldog Turner. Son of a Youngwood, Pa., coal miner, George was signed out of the University of Kentucky for a measly $600which Bear Coach George Halas demanded that he pay back if he made the team.

He left the company in 1950 after a policy fight and turned to practicing architecture. Many architects struggle ineffectually to influence decisions that determine the surroundings of buildings and the shape of whole neighborhoods or cities. In Chicago, Luckman has reached that coveted goal...
...would," replied Los Angeles Architect Charles Luckman, a friend of 30 years, when Kriendler mentioned his dilemma last August. Because of precisely the same situation, Luckman had recently brought his own firm, Charles Luckman Associates, into Ablon's realm as a part of Ogden Development Corp. By coincidence, that deal had been struck over a two-hour lunch at "21". Ablon, who is also a regular patron, quickly agreed that safeguarding such a symbol of opulence would be good business for Ogden...
