...openings, plus the usual Fourth of July holiday crush, combined to make last week the busiest in Las Vegas' history. Hotels were jammed, switchboards hopelessly overloaded, gamblers stacked six deep at the craps and blackjack tables. TIME Correspondent Jon Larsen and Writer Charles Parmiter were on hand to record the frenetic scene. Their impressions...
...went up by $50,000 leaps. Finally, the auctioneer called "Sold!" For $1,159,200, Los Angeles Industrialist and Art Collector Norton Simon had acquired a self-portrait made when Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn was in his early 30s.

...record, both men are classic American types, sprung to eminence from provincial poverty by their own exertions: Daniel from a soda-jerking job in Zebulon, N.C., Reston via an impoverished childhood in Scotland and a U.S. boyhood in the Midwest, partly spent working as a caddie. Readers in search of profundities and nuances will be more satisfied with the portrait of Reston, perhaps because Talese implies that Daniel's surface is Daniel. Reston's Horatio Alger idealism and Establishment pieties Talese wryly ascribes to a successful immigrant's fervor for his new-found land. In assessing...
