...school football games. In 1963 Lance and a group of friends bought control of the bank and he became its president. At the age of 32 he was finally off and running. As one longtime Calhoun resident puts it, "He was the best damn energizer of people ever to shake your hand." To bolster the local economy, Lance gave high-risk loans to people willing to start small businesses making tufted carpets. Today the carpet factories are the area's leading employers. To upgrade the local cattle, Lance had his bank buy purebred bulls, then leased them to farmers...
...eyes are strangely hooded, like Bert Lance's, as if he has just awakened?or is about to go to sleep. He is graying early, and he could easily be mistaken for someone ten years older than he is. In person, Silverman is affable but tentative. He does not shake hands but thrusts forth his fingers instead, as if afraid that the full package might not be returned. At CBS he was known as a hypochondriac who would run off about once a week for an EKG at Roosevelt Hospital. "He just doesn't have the capacity to relax," says...

That vision had taken hold in many capitals, notably Washington. But last week, as Secretary of State Cyrus Vance concluded his eleven-day swing through six Middle East states,* a Geneva Conference was clearly impossible by October, highly unlikely any time in 1977, and in general seemed more remote...
Indeed, the big loser in the great gas station shake-up has been the small businessman who leases his station from a large firm and depends on it to provide fuel and marketing support. Often these operators make most of their money from car repairs or maintenance, and do not want to switch to selling gas exclusively. Yet, if they refuse to go along, the companies can and sometimes do refuse to renew their lease...
