...Emerald Buddha, the King had ordered the whole palace and temple grounds illuminated. Lights shone on the golden spires and the gilded heads of the king cobras, on the fierce 25-ft.-high demons who guard the temple, on the white monkey king warrior and the life-size golden statue of Manohra, half human and half bird. Entranced by her walk, Jackie called the temple "the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." Then she flew off for a brief stopover in Rome before returning...
...wanted to become a doctor. Penniless when she finished pre-med courses at New York City's Hunter College in the depths of the Depression, she toiled twelve years as a white-collar worker in a trucking company, saving $12,000 while helping the firm increase sixfold in size. Then, after four years at Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons, she spent ten years as intern, resident and ultimately chief of clinics at the Cornell Division of New York City's Bellevue Hospital Center, and built up a flourishing Park Avenue practice...
...reasonable standards, Waynesburg and Westminster qualify as small schools. To the N.C.A.A., however, size is a matter of athletic emphasis; it is measured by a school's schedule, by the conference it belongs to and the teams it plays. And by those criteria, San Diego State is also "small"-although it has 18,000 students, the use of a 50,000-seat stadium, and a football team that supplied five players to the pros last year.

Some 775,000 people keep their savings there, and last month Home's assets reached $2.5 billion, making it almost twice the financial size of its nearest competitor. Home was a midget with assets of less than $1,000,000 in 1947 when Ahmanson bought it for $162,000; he was making a shrewd bet that the yet unstarted postwar housing boom would make fortunes for mortgage lenders...
...their drive, Butcher and Seabrook operate in relaxed fashion, Butcher from his ground-floor brokerage desk, Seabrook from a pint-size office eight floors above. Butcher still swims daily in his suburban pool, plays tennis regularly. Seabrook, a model-railroad buff, raises horses and collects antique carriages (he has two dozen) at his 4,200 acre farm in Salem, N.J. He and his wife, former United Press Correspondent Liz Toomey (whom he met at Grace Kelly's wedding to Monaco's Prince Rainier), often slip into 18th century costume for champagne-sipping country outings amid the asparagus...
