...statements about conservation (TIME, Jan. 17). In explaining what he meant by saying there was no merit in "conservation for conservation's sake," Hickel said that he had been thinking of the "millions and millions of board feet of timber rotting in Alaska." When he said that stringent water-pollution standards would hinder industry, he was again thinking of Alaska and its abundance of clear rivers. In fact, admitted Hickel, many of his statements-notably his remark that he could do more for Alaskans in Washington than in Juneau-were meant strictly for local consumption...
...prowls all over the stage in slow-motion. Chuck Berry, handsome smiling face, these days with long flowing black hair, playing his guitar with jerks of the forearm as if he were drawing water from a well, playing a boogie to blow Bill Haley's mind. He ends the set with a triumphant "Go, Go Johnny, Johnny B. Goode" and is gone waving his guitar...

A wealthy investor in real estate and oil, Dartmouth-educated Mosbacher has twice skippered a successful America's Cup defender: Weatherly against Australia's Gretel in 1962 and Intrepid against the 1967 Australian challenger, Dame Pattie.

They tended their herds, sleeping in tree platforms at night to fend off attacks by pumas, and they carried water in buckets for the shade trees they planted. Before Hart died in 1961, they put together a spread of 185,000 leased acres, with buildings and ranch houses worth $200,000. Hart and his sons never gave up U.S. citizenship, and two of the boys served in the U.S. armed forces...
