...gang life in New York (The Violent Gang) and the Synanon cure for drug addiction (Synanon: The Tunnel Back) have been widely praised for telling it like it is. Yablonsky could tell it, because he lived with the people he studied-and his classroom presentation at San Fernando Valley State College this month earned him an "outstanding teacher" award over 9,000 of his colleagues in the California state colleges. Shortly before he won the award, however, Yablonsky-who is now studying the hippie movement-was subpoenaed to testify at the marijuana trial of a friendly flower child...
...change more dramatic than in the West, where the mountains are higher, the snow deeper, and the enthusiasts are showing up each year in ever increasing numbers. Since last winter, new resorts have blossomed at Alpental, Wash., 55 miles east of Seattle in the Cascades, and at Bear Valley, Calif., a remote area in the northern Sierras that boasts the record U.S. annual snowfall-73 ft. in the winter of 1906-07. At Alta, Utah, a 5,100-ft.-long lift has been added to open up the powder-rich Albion Basin, until now accessible only by climbing on skis...
...activity is most frantic at Colorado's $13 million Snowmass-at-Aspen, far and away the biggest new winter resort to be developed since Alec Gushing (TIME cover, Feb. 9, 1959) built up Squaw Valley for the 1960 Olympics. At Snowmass, Bill Janss, 49, a millionaire Los Angeles land developer and onetime U.S. Olympic Team skier, has carved out 2,000 acres of slopes with 50 miles of trails and five double-chair lifts on Mount Baldy (13,-162 ft.), which have already matched the ski area of the three nearby mountains served by the town of Aspen proper...
What is making Snowmass take off is the reputation of Bill Janss, who with his brother Edwin bought Sun Valley from the Union Pacific in 1964, turned it around from a has-been resort to a year-round success and favorite Christmas camping ground for the Kennedy clan. Even before Snowmass opened, house lots were bought by Fairchild Camera President Richard Hodgson, Borg-Warner Chairman Robert Ingersoll and Defense Secretary Mc-Namara (whose $75,000 private lodge has already been completed). The last 40 of the 104 lower-priced condominiums ($17,000 for a studio-efficiency) were sold...
...deal that later brought him about $3,000,000. His business firm, Bob Hope Enterprises, owns 8,000 acres in Palm Springs, $35 million in property in Thousand Oaks near Los Angeles, 4,000-5,000 acres near Phoenix, more than 7,500 acres in the San Fernando Valley, 1,500 acres in Malibu, scattered properties in Burbank and the rest of Southern California and in Puer to Rico, and interests in the Cleveland Indians baseball team, a race track and a variety of broadcasting properties. These holdings, added to his homes in North Hollywood and Palm Springs, contribute...
