...notion how many more of Saxon's controversial branch approvals might now be subject to attack. Many bankers seemed to agree with President Jack T. Conn of the American Bankers Association, who called the ruling "wonderful." But not Saxon, who became co-chairman of the American Fletcher Na tional Bank & Trust Co. of Indianapolis after his term as comptroller expired last month. Saxon scoffed at Clark's opinion as "superficial," forecast a new wave of litigation over branching laws, criticized the way the Government had defended his position. "The original brief prepared in our office was masterly...
...thirds of the island that is accessible no other way: the rim of the crater of long-dead Mount Waia-leale (with 400 to 800 inches of rain a year, the wettest spot on earth), the hidden beaches like Honopu and the Valley of the Lost Tribe on the Na Pali coast, populated today only by prancing mountain goats.

No European laid eyes on it until 1769, when an expedition of Spanish explorers came upon an Indian village called Yang-na and renamed the site Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles-Our Lady Queen of the Angels. Twelve years later, the area was settled by 44 low-caste peons (including ten Negroes) from Mexico. The pueblo came under American occupation in 1846, was incorporated (pop. 1,610) in 1850-the same year that California received statehood...
