...DIED. Samuel Meek, 85, who as overseas manager of the J. Walter Thompson Co. helped build it into the world's largest advertising agency; in Greenwich, Conn. A former managing editor of the Yale Daily News, Meek was instrumental in helping two of his ex-staffers, Henry Luce and Briton Hadden, to obtain the financing to launch TIME magazine in 1923. Meek, who served on the Time Inc. board of directors for 48 years, joined Thompson in 1925 and expanded its fledgling international operations to 35 offices on six continents before retiring as vice chairman...
Late last month two Wall Street stockbrokers, Thomas and Samuel McNeil, publicly accused Hugel of illegal stock manipulation in the mid-1970s. The timing of the McNeils' attack, so long after the events that had turned them into enemies of Hugel's, fueled suspicions that it may have been instigated by Hugel's CIA foes.

They will outprice any concentration of privately owned apartments in the world, including Paris' fashionable Avenue Foch and the moneyed battlements of Manhattan's Park and Fifth Avenues...
Everyone knows about private detectives. Few realize that these tough-talking loners, made familiar through countless novels, films and television serials, were mostly cloned from a prototype invented during the 1920s by Samuel Dashiell Hammett. He is not a familiar figure, and in fact never was. His trade was writing mysteries; he kept the plot of his own life story largely to himself. He confided little to his lovers and less to his friends. Legal authorities, interested in his political activities with leftists and Communists, got nothing at all. Hammett's life began and ended in obscurity. For about...
