Daniel K. Ludwig is an American shipowner whose tanker fleets outrival the golden Greeks'. Six weeks ago, Correspondent Dudley Doust got interested in Ludwig's oil refinery and orange groves in Panama, then our man in Miami picked up Ludwig's trail, and last week Ludwig invested $100.5 million in Union Oil. Everywhere TIME asked, Ludwig was reported somewhere else. But by simultaneously interviewing business acquaintances and assistants and others in Wall Street, London, Washington, Miami and places west, we are able to tell more about one of the world's most powerful businessmen than anyone...
...Resnic, who said he had not ridden for 45 years, Dr. White suggested: have a checkup first, then start cycling regularly, building up the time gradually-"and you'll soon be in tiptop shape."

He has embarked on history's last Long Trail Drive, across macadam highways and through skyscraper-canyoned cities at the head of his herd-which consists of one aged cow with a plastic window in her side...
...with Houseboy Paco, McCanless succumbs to a vision. That ventilated cow out in the barn, Old Blue-she is actually a vast, milling herd of white-faced steers. Like a latter-day Don Quixote, McCanless lays out his inspired plan to Paco: "We grass-fatten the herd on the trail, and then we sell it at top market. And when it's all over . . . we'll buy each of us a scarlet sweetheart and honky-tonk our tails...
