...more garages with two cars, more backyard swimming pools than ever before. Yet the economy remained the major factor in what Lubell called "a strong but uneven Democratic tide." Strangely, Lubell found young voters far more edgy about recession than oldsters who best remembered the Great Depression. The striking result: "Of the Eisenhower voters who are under 35 years of age whom I interviewed, nearly half said they intended to vote Democratic this fall." The reason: "Overburdened with debt for new homes and autos as many of the younger workers were, and with little seniority to hold their jobs, they...
Beyond the Fence. In 1935 Rockefeller visited South America on a trip that changed his life. In Venezuela he discovered the abysmal difference between the standard of living inside the U.S. oil compounds and outside. Few U.S. executives knew Spanish; as a result, their companies had little contact with the Latin American world beyond the fence. To Rockefeller the environment needed working on.

Jack Goodman, who passed the tip on to a promising young writer (and Radcliffe graduate) named Rona Jaffe. Result: The Best of Everything, Author Jaffe's bestseller (TIME, Sept. 15), which Wald duly bought...
...Grace. While he was busy buying up such surefire successes as The Last Hurrah, Wald also found time to write to 10,000 librarians all over the world, asking for the names of their most popular books. As a result of the poll, he has since bought D. H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers (an overrated but filmable story of British miners) and Lady Chatterley's Lover (a-nearly unfilmable tale of four-letter words and high-level adultery...
