...risk we're most willing to take, and it's the least of our worries. When you start from scratch, you've got to run like the dickens all the way." ¶The House Ways & Means Committee is ready to recommend a bill providing a three-year extension of the reciprocal trade program, a compromise between President Eisenhower's five-year request and the one-year-and-no-more demands of the congressional tariff bloc.

In and out of print he loved nothing better than a pretty girl-and feared nothing worse than being married to one. In 1955, after a 17-year courtship, he married Actress Julie Haydon and with stoic good cheer settled back...
...Panama Hotel, which Stone designed in 1946 (it was completed in 1951) after a three-year hitch as a captain and major in the U.S. Army Air Forces in charge of designing air-base facilities. Faced with the commission for a hotel in the tropics. Stone chose the hilltop site two miles northeast of Panama City, decided to let the rooms air-condition themselves by making each one an open breezeway with its own cantilevered balcony. When Stone told Frank Lloyd Wright he was building a hotel without corridors, without windows and without doors, the shrewd old man opined...
