Though U.S. big-name colleges are deluged with applicants, most of them, fearing loss of quality in size, refuse to expand. Yet all are sure that more Americans need their special academic virtues. One alternative is to start affiliates in distant places-a Yale-in-Denver or a Harvard-in-Dallas...
After Jan. 1, the American Iron and Steel Institute will issue only the actual tonnage output. The institute tried doing this several years ago, but outside experts went right on making their own computations by simply comparing the actual tonnage with capacity, thus forced the institute to start releasing the capacity figure again. Now the institute has a solution for that problem. Normally, in January, it publishes the increase in capacity during the past year, a computation that is made only once a year. Next month the institute will not release a new capacity figure, thus hopes that outsiders will...
...rolling 120 acres outside Buffalo last week, engineers started planning the construction of a $12.5 million apartment hotel and a cluster of small cottages, to be called Rockledge. It will have a pitch-and-putt golf course, lawn bowling, shuffleboard, roof garden, sun deck and an infirmary offering 24-hr, medical service.

...Family Went Along. Harvey Aluminum is an outgrowth of the Harvey Machine Co., which was founded by Leo Harvey in Los Angeles in 1914. At the start, it made everything from corsage pins to racing cars. Later it turned to making special machinery, and by World War II was the biggest such manufacturer on the West Coast. Young Lawrence had learned metalworking on vacations in his father's shop, had rushed through the University of Southern California, the California bar exams and Harvard Business School by the time he was 22. In 1946 he cut loose from the family...
