ORGANIZATIONS Dollars for Israel Beneath the warm smile of Israel's visiting Foreign Minister Golda Meir, some 300 U.S. Jewish leaders met in Manhattan's Savoy-Plaza Hotel last week to plan a great new outpouring of American dollars for Israel. Before Feb. 28, said the Israel Bond Organization, it hoped to raise $20 million; before the end of 1957 it hoped to raise a total of $75 million designed to improve immigrant housing, speed up industrialization and "fill the gap in Israel's development budget created by the loss of other sources of economic...
...Avenue On a crackling-cold winter's night three years ago the five-story, 56-room mansion at 1051 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, glittered like a luster chandelier.

Johannes was modestly prospering on summer trade when one autumn he wagered four departing British guests that they could stroll around St. Moritz in midwinter without overcoats. That winter the four struggled upland through the snow, arrived in St. Moritz to find the sun so warm that Johannes was waiting in his shirtsleeves. He won his bet. Next winter the four came back with friends, and the town was on its way to fame as a winter resort. Johannes enlarged the Kulm to accommodate 400 guests, furnished it with fine paintings and sculptures, and in 1880 installed...
