...Adele Morales, a lush Peruvian-Spanish painter and actress, fluctuated from serenity in the morning to raging public brawls at night. Usually an affable man, Mailer became morose and belligerent. In Provincetown last summer he was jailed after a fight with police that began when he hailed a prowl car under the impression that it was a taxi. In Birdland, a Manhattan jazz emporium, two weeks ago there was another brush with the law after an argument over a $7.60 check.

...Akron department-store owner, O'Neil Sr. founded the tire company in 1915, aided by $50,000 put up by his father. Impatient to grow, he would prowl around General Tire's departments, demand of executives: "Why the hell aren't you fellows making more money?" By merger and acquisition, he built General Tire into the rubber industry's fifth largest company (after Goodyear, Firestone, U.S. Rubber, and Goodrich). In 1944 he made his best deal, bought a half interest in the fledgling Aerojet Engineering Corp. for $75,000, bought another 34% chunk of the company...
