...Washington last week, Simon was the guest of honor at a pre-unveiling luncheon (filet of sole espagnole) given by National Gallery Director John Walker and attended by such notables as Navy Secretary Paul Nitze, Dutch Ambassador Carl Schurmann, Pittsburgh Art Patron Paul Mellon and William Walton, chairman of the Federal Government's Commission of Fine Arts. Then Titus was ceremoniously brought from the gallery's basement, and while flashbulbs popped and TV cameras whirred, hung before red velvet in its place of honor. Yet, for all the trouble and cost he had incurred to acquire Titus, the lean, craggy...
Another good bet for an individual championship is Lynch, who finished second in last year's 440-yard hurdles behind Manhattan's Vince McArdle, who has graduated. Lynch lost to Pittsburgh's Dick Johnson at the Penn relays and to Navy's Cortland Gray in the Heps, but both races were close. The Crimson's captain-elect will double in the 120-yard high hurdles, where he's likely to place if he can approach his season's best time of 14.3.

The son, grandson and great-grandson of Heinz presidents, Jack Heinz, 27, may someday run the company-but that future is by no means assured. Widespread public ownership of companies that once were family-owned has ruled out most automatic successions, and the sons of corporate bosses have to work hard and compete with a lot of bright young men if they hope to win their fathers' posts...
...industry, and he moves back and forth between them with complete assurance. A few names tell the story. Presidential Adviser Walter Heller and Ambassador Kenneth Galbraith are now back at their academic posts (Minnesota and Harvard), widely sought after and well paid as consultants and lecturers. The University of Pittsburgh's Chancellor Edward H. Litchfield is also chairman of Smith-Corona and a director of Studebaker and Avco. M.I.T. Nutritionist Samuel A. Goldblith is also a vice president of United Fruit. Around Boston, particularly along famed Route 128, there are some 1,000 space and electronics firms in whose...
