...Americans tend to make rather heavier weather of it. Take Marylou Whitney, whose husband Sonny (Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney to you) was a principal backer of Pan American World Airways, Gone With the Wind and enough other ventures to qualify him as a one-man conglomerate. She has five children and five establishments in Lexington, Ky., Saratoga, Manhattan, Manitoba, Canada, and 100,000 acres of the Adirondacks. So Marylou and her two secretaries (one in New York and one in Kentucky) spend a lot of time in a welter of lists, files and details. She likes to dash off notes...
Under Warren, the court has addressed itself principally to three great areas: civil rights, reapportionment under the one-man, one-vote doctrine, and criminal justice. As earlier courts have been dominated by such concerns as property rights, the building of the central government and slavery, Warren's court confronted, in an unusual number of cases, one overriding problem-the rights of the individual. In so doing, the court guaranteed that it would spark controversy. As Oliver Wendell Holmes said of the court in one of his celebrated remarks: "We are very quiet there, but it is the quiet...
Inexorable Growth. What is ahead for the one-man show-whose assets, all told, come to some $3 billion? Ownership of Ahmanson's H. F.

Stock remaining in Howard Sr.'s name will go to a trust...

Lately, Olitski has been rolling out a lot of canvas. He is preparing for three one-man shows, to be held this summer and fall in London, Los Angeles and New York City. In addition, his work will be shown later this month at West Germany's prestigious Dokumenta, and he can hardly meet the demand from private buyers, who willingly pay from...
Philadelphia-born Richard Lester, who became British cinema's one-man new wave with A Hard Day's Night and The Knack, chose San Francisco as the location for Petulia, his first film in the U.S. "It's the most exciting city anywhere on earth," he explained. The excitement, unfortunately, seems to have been too much for him. Petulia is a dazzlement of props and location shots, around which the actors ricochet helplessly through a non-romance between a girl who is some kind of nut and an orthopedic surgeon who seems to be going the same...
