Training an Heir. Nor is one-man control likely to be reasserted any time soon. Marshall Field V, a Harvard graduate now working at the New York Herald Tribune, will replace his father as a trustee when he turns 25 next May. But he will not become publisher of his father's newspapers until the trustees consider him "sufficiently trained." When his only brother Frederick, now 13, reaches 25, according to the terms set by Marshall Field III, the trust, which now holds two-thirds of the corporation's stock, may be dissolved. Then the two Field brothers...
Poor Plumbing. Today Horst Antes is well on the way to becoming Karlsruhe's most illustrious alumnus. As a student he captured the Hannover Grand Prix, at 24 had his first one-man show, and today, at 29, he is considered Germany's most powerful postwar painter (see color), a natural link in and continuator of the great tradition of German expressionism. Outwardly at least, his impetuosity has somewhat subsided. The neighbors in his six-story walkup on a truck-choked thoroughfare in Karlsruhe are often treated to blasts of rock 'n' roll he plays...
...will begin marketing $8.95 tobacco pipes lined with pyrolytic graphite. The fuel cell, which generates power by converting hydrogen and oxygen into electricity and water, was a laboratory curiosity until General Electric put it in Gemini. Now General Dynamics is using the fuel cell to produce electricity aboard a one-man submarine, and Allis-Chalmers is using it to power experimental spot welders, golf carts, tractors and forklift trucks...
...answers the Freedom Committee: the issues are simply Shuttlesworth's one-man rule over church finances, and the question of how much time he should spend away from church working for Martin Luther King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference. The accusations stagger Pastor Shuttlesworth. "If I'm a dictator, I'm a benevolent one," he says. "I sleep with the parishioners on my mind, thinking of their misdeeds and the evil in their hearts...
Feeding on Customers. Helicopters, costly to buy and operate, constitute only a tiny fraction of the nation's 9,000-plane taxi fleet. Taxi companies range from one-man, one-plane outfits to Detroit's 28-plane Tag Airlines, which has 100 employees and takes in $1,000,000 a year. Typical of the type is nine-plane Pilgrim Airlines, which has tripled its business in five years (to 15,000 passengers a year) by offering six scheduled flights a day from New London, Conn., to New York's Kennedy Airport. The trip costs $14.50 and takes...
