...Khrushchev. It is unlikely that Khrushchev had a personal apparatus powerful enough to catapult him into the general secretaryship of the party a fortnight after Stalin's death. The great institutions behind the struggle obviously settled for the ebullient little man from the village of Kalinovka in the region of Kursk because, at that step of the leadership crisis, Khrushchev had the advantage of a fairly new face, and being a man without ideological subtlety, he would have to yield to advice given by the great institutions: the army, the NKVD, the reconstituted party...
...morning it drops with a thick, self-assured plop on 462,257 doorsteps from Anaheim to Azusa,* like a faintly welcome striped-pants uncle (wealthy but voluble). Neither a great newspaper nor a poor one, the Times, from its downtown limestone monolith, serves as an unshakable herald, chronicling the region with loving detail, goading Angelenos toward the megalopolitan destiny ordained by Harrison Otis...
Last week northwest Canada's barren muskeg was crawling with oilmen. To get in on the continent's hottest oil play, well over 200 companies will spend $160 million for exploration this year alone, and they are just getting started.

All told, his personal fortune is currently estimated at $200 million, and the assets he controls in partnership...
...seven stories of her new book, Yorkshirewoman Bentley brings off a considerable literary feat by exploring her region in time: the first story is set in 1350, the last in 1950. Place names echo and re-echo-Annotsfield, Whindale, the Ire Valley-as do the names of people: Brigg, Egmont, Resmond. Novelist Bentley succeeds in showing, as she sets out to do, that Yorkshire's West Ridinghood is persistent in the character of the tykes -whether they wield bows, shuttles or hymnbooks...
