UNLIKE larger Hilton and Sheraton, third-ranking Western International Hotels Corp. carefully avoids the look and name of a chain in its 42 hotels; it prefers to let such homey hospices as San Francisco's St. Francis, Seattle's Olympic and the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs breathe with individual atmosphere. But to make sure that efficiency and profits stay up while the chain concept is played down, Seattle-based President Edward E. Carlson, 52, works mostly on the road, usually as his own guest. Carlson started 35 years ago as a pageboy, worked his way from front desk...
...string of driving schools, travel agencies and sporting-goods shops. It is also Japan's largest distributor of Chrysler Corp. autos and its sole distributor of International Harvester farm and construction equipment.

Scranton said he would be simply "delighted" if Romney would run. Romney said, "I would be delighted if Governor Scranton would." All in all, said Scranton afterward, "it was sort of an Alphonse and Gaston act." The only...
...Useful Part. That agreement was prelude to a kind of Eisenhower-Goldwater confrontation last week in Washington's Sheraton-Park Hotel. The occasion was in honor of Ike's 73rd birthday, and some 750 top Republicans gathered. During the reception before the banquet, Barry and Ike mingled with the mob-but never quite came face to face. When Ike and Mamie walked into the banquet hall, Goldwater applauded enthusiastically. After the dinner, Eisenhower and Goldwater finally did get together, chatted briefly, but to eavesdropping ears, what they said to each other did not seem to matter greatly...
