In its public humidor rooms, where temperature is carefully kept at 65° and humidity at 73%, the walls are lined with cedar lockers blazoning the names of connoisseurs who keep large private stocks: Milton Berle, David Sarnoff, Laurance Rockefeller, the Duke of Windsor. Some customers store up to 10,000 cigars at a time so as not to run low on Dunhill's most expensive cigars, the eight-inch $1 brands that are made from 45% Havana leaf and 55% Cuban seed tobacco grown in Connecticut. Though...

In 1962, under Engstrom, RCA sharply reduced the research costs of its computer division. It also phased out the commercial model of the no computer, which was intended to run factories, and straightened out the bugs that had delayed for many months delivery of the high-speed 601 computer. The first 601 started whirring last month at New Jersey Bell Telephone, which is paying $375,000 a year rental...
...Other Half. Sarnoff is confident that RCA's computer losses will be halved again in 1963, and hopeful that the computer division will move into the black in 1964. As for color TV, the industry predicts that sales will rise in 1963 to 750,000 or 1,000,000 sets, close to half of them made by RCA.
