After two years of college and four of law school, Burger went to work in 1931 for the well-regarded law firm of Boyesen, Otis and Faricy. It was the start of a long legal career. He then married Elvera Stromberg, whom he had met when they were both taking extension courses at Minnesota. They have two children: a son, Wade, now 32 and a real estate man in northern Virginia, and a daughter, Margaret, 22, a Montessori school student teacher...
Nobody out-go-goes Aspen, where swingers nightly "grouse for goodies" (translation: hunt for girls) in the town's dozen nightclubs and 25 bars, emboldened by a local libation called Aspen Crud, a vanilla milk shake laced with anything alcoholic. Latest place is Stromberg's, in the basement beneath a drugstore, where skiers dine on escargots, fondue and hot posh (cappuccino and rum), stay on for recorded flamenco, folk and jazz.

The engine comes from a 1950 Oldsmobile and supports three Stromberg carbs...
General Dynamics may well turn that corner in due time. The directors' committee is considering selling off the money-losing commercial products end of the Stromberg-Carlson Division and perhaps also the Liquid Carbonic Division, an indifferent earner. The remainder of General Dynamics' twelve divisions are operating satisfactorily in the black, and some Wall Street analysts believe the company will show a respectable profit in 1962-provided additional write-offs on the jet program do not exceed the $5 to $10 million the directors now predict. But before General Dynamics can realize the promise it once seemed...
