It could be a "compatible" buyer-perhaps Nixon's wealthy, longtime friend "Bebe" Rebozo-or it could be the Nixon Foundation, which might build a presidential library and museum on the land, though the President's California home town of Whittier would like that honor...
Matter of Trust. When the Citizens State Bank of Alvarado collapsed in April, the F.D.I.C.'s chore was somewhat more complicated. The federal agency is suing the bank's president, Jack Park, who has been mayor of the town since 1954, for $512,000 that it says he embezzled. But the F.D.I.C. seems alone in taking offense.

Willot Co. in Lille in 1954, it employed 200 people who produced a $3,000,000-a-year volume of bandages and baby diapers. Bernard was soon able to squeeze out 20% profits on those sales, and he used the added income to expand...
