...shown that he knows how to run an auto company, although he concedes that "I haven't the slightest idea how to build a car." Unhappy about some deadwood that had piled up under Valletta, Agnelli imposed a U.S.-style rule of retirement at 65 and promoted much younger men. He has also radically decentralized management in the belief that "it doesn't do any good to sit on the heads of your executives." Fiat's managers bring him only major decisions, but on those, Agnelli is the ultimate authority. Under him, the company has greatly broadened...

Only 500 family and friends were at the church, while Ike and Mamie watched over closed-circuit TV from his suite at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The only departure from the script came when Julie kissed...
College Grads and Clam Beds. By the 1870s-chasing a new breed of bank robbers, mostly ex-soldiers like the Younger Brothers of Missouri, and pouncing on cheating streetcar conductors in the East-Pinkerton agents were operating out of offices in New York and Philadelphia. The revolutionary slum boy from Glasgow was able to build himself a Scottish estate in Onarga, Ill., complete with 85,000 imported trees, where he entertained the likes of General Grant and Commodore Vanderbilt.
