When TIME President Linen told King Bhumibol that the group planned to donate a schoolhouse to Thailand, the King asked pointedly: "What size school-house?" Following a lively discussion of school costs, American Banker George Murphy finally broke the impasse by suggesting, to Bhumibol's apparent satisfaction, that the group's gift be 500,000 baht ($25,000), which the Thais could apply toward school construction of any sort they wished...
...best hope of coming to grips with the problems of megalopolis." Ed Logue, the city planner who rebuilt Boston's downtown area and recently became president of New York State's Urban Development Corporation, advocates tax incentives that would entice developers to build towns ranging in size from 100,000 to 250,000. "At that size you have a civilized community, one without a commuter problem and still small enough that you can fight city hall," he says.

Because its voltage controls can precisely "shape" tones as they are being produced, the Moog affords more spontaneous variations of sounds than other comparable synthesizers, and far more subtlety and musicality...
...mammoth A & P. Even Pan American World Airways, long considered to be practically an unofficial agency of the U.S. Government, feels threatened by Resorts International, a onetime paintmaking company whose primary asset is a Bahamas gambling casino and a few hotels. Resorts' total assets are about a quarter the size of Pan Am's, but through a complex swap of securities, Resorts may become a major Pan Am stockholder. Last month Wall Street rumors whispered that U.S. Steel, with its $5.6 billion assets, was on several lists of takeover targets. The company has revamped its bookkeeping, as have many other...
