Nominations poured in, not only from the bureaus but also from writers and editors in the New York office, each making a case for his favorite. Magnuson found himself with 150 candidates. This list was painfully pared down to 74 and inscribed on a wall chart that showed the nominee's name, age, college, subject taught, teaching style, and the name of the correspondent who had attended his class. Then, thanks to the guidance of faculty deans, foundation experts, specialists from the U.S. Office of Education and students, the list was halved to 37, and finally reduced...
...York is to regain its rightful place in the nightclub vanguard: "London has taken the lead from us. There's always excitement in the air. In New York there's only air pollution." But to 33-year-old Bachelor Stevenson, who has already dabbled in Wall Street (Lazard Freres), educational films, Caribbean real estate, and an unsuccessful antique-car rental service, Cheetah is "an investment that I know will be a success."

What actually caused the rupture...
Although he writes admiringly of the vast sums expended by Vanderbilts, Goulds and Morgans on yachts, castellated mansions, cotillions, fine libraries and blooded horses, Beebe concedes that for pure genius, nobody topped "Colonel" Ned Green, the spectacularly eccentric, wooden-legged, oversexed son of Hetty Green, the miserly "Witch of Wall Street." For more than half a century, until his death in 1936, Green squandered about $3 million a year on stamp collecting, orchid culture, private railroad cars, teen-age girls, luxurious yachts and diamond-studded chamber pots. Green sometimes traveled with a battered Gladstone valise stuffed with $10,000 bills...
