...American Rockwell's commercial-products division last February. He calls his move "more a question of opportunity than of money." Opportunity, of course, usually beckons most strongly to those who consider themselves stymied in No. 2 jobs. A notable example is Litton Industries. With Chairman Charles B. ("Tex") Thornton, 55, and President Roy Ash, 49, showing no signs of yielding control, Litton has spawned a host of chief executives for other companies, including such "Lidos" (for Litton Industries dropouts) as Western Union's Russell McFall and City Investing Co.'s George Scharffenberger...
Encouraged by this (and more State Department money), Kumo this year invited Clurman to direct it in another O'Neill play. Tennessee Williams, Thornton Wilder and Arthur Miller have been successfully performed in Japan. But O'Neill especially, says Translator Koji Numazawa, "is haunting to us Japanese, with his tortuous groping for an answer to the overwhelming question of God's existence." Wiggy Look.

To prevent any possible confusion about which are the remains to be seen, each window has a drop-in name plaque. "This is the glass age," says Thornton, explaining the convenience of the arrangement for both his customers and himself. "Families often come by in the wee hours of the morning, and you have to get up for them," he adds a bit defensively, "and this will also make it easier for elderly people, who can just...
Here is the distinctive feature of Wisconsin's urbanization: much less of the population concentrates in a few large urban centers than is true of the rest of America. In other words, Wisconsin is urban but not highly metropolitan. Wisconsin-born Thornton Wilder captured the flavor of the state in Our Town, although he indelicately set the play in New Hampshire...
