...Detroit, which was fitted out for the occasion with an 18th century French motif by Paris Designer Jacques Frank. It cost something over $250,000 to entertain the 1,270 guests who ate up, among other things, 5,000 finger sandwiches, 2,160 scrambled eggs, 100 Ibs. of corned beef hash, drank 480 bottles of Cuvée Dom Perignon (1949) and 720 bottles of hard liquor, and danced through the night to Meyer Davis' society orchestra, flown in from New York. By Detroit standards, Charlotte Ford's coming-out party was a dazzling spectacle; by any other...

Powerful Australian and New Zealand meat packers as well as the packing unions sought to stop Delfino because shipping of beef on the hoof imperiled Australia's frozen-meat export trade.

Twenty-eight days and one hurricane later, he landed in San Diego, minus 107 cattle and one crew member who had died on the way.
