Today, across the U.S., culture centers are springing up like puffballs on a dewy morning. To date, close to $375 million is involved in building projects scheduled to house the arts in 70 cities. It has even developed into a kind of competition. Local boosters now tout their cities' artistic attractions more than their rail connections, and the effort is paying off: IBM's choice of Rochester, Minn., San Jose, Calif., and Westchester, N.Y., for new locations was swayed by the lively cultural life in those areas. In Cincinnati, Procter & Gamble mails a brochure on local cultural events...
...movie stand-in broke up in 1958. Despondent, Perrin tried suicide (poison and gas). On recovering, he took his psychiatrist's advice to drive a cab in Paris for the therapeutic value.

In 1949 he held...
They bought up as many small electrical companies as they could, poured 10% of earnings into research and set out to sell to industry, the government, and to the French consumer - who is fondly referred to as "Monsieur Tout-le-monde" (Mr. Average Man). But its forced growth came close to being fatal. When the French government suddenly cut back military orders as a deflationary move, Thomson found itself overexpanded. Control of the new acquisitions was so loose that the result, recalls one Thomson executive, was "anarchy...
...Marshal Tito and Indonesia's mercurial Sukarno, Benkhedda is something of a surprise. Of medium height and medium age (42), diffident in manner, ascetic in habits, with his voice emotionlessly level and his expression forever veiled by dark glasses, Benkhedda resembles his nickname of M'sieu Tout le Monde (Mr. Every body). No flag-waving Moslem mob has ever ecstatically screamed his name. Ben khedda came up through the ranks of the F.L.N. as a machine-minded organizer...
