...highbrow monthly Horizon in December 1949, the magazine had beaten the actuarial tables and reached the advanced old age of ten years. Since there was always more red ink than red blood in its circulation (peak figure: 10,-ooo), Horizon owed much of its vitality to two men: 1) Angel Peter Watson, the millionaire son of a milkman, who blotted up some $20,000 in losses; and 2) Editor Cyril Connolly, the intellectual son of an army officer, whose pudgy face once reminded a reporter of "a cross between Beethoven and Edward G. Robinson...
French Flight Nurse Genèvive de Galard-Terraube, 29, rejecting the label of "angel" despite her 56 days of selfless ministration to the sick and wounded in Dienbienphu, arrived to visit the U.S. at the invitation of the U.S. Congress.* In Manhattan, Nurse Geneviève was treated to a parade up lower Broadway. Next day she hopped down to Washington and was soon sitting in the front row of the House of Representatives' diplomatic gallery. Gleefully getting around an inflexible House rule that no gallery visitor may be introduced or even pointed out, Minnesota's Republican...
...Blue Angel (Tues., 10:30 p.m., CBS-TV) stars a quiet, wry, young (26) comedian named Orson Bean who has a happy way with a joke.

Example: the prizes for a contest run by the National Kumquat Growers' Association - $5,000 worth of sneakers (size 17E), six miles of dental...
Bravo pour le Clown (Edith Piaf; Angel LP). Eight over-orchestrated songs of the sadder aspects of life and love, one of them (the title song) a rowdier than usual pagliaccio-type item that fits Piaf as closely as a putty nose. Perhaps more timely in France, where La Piaf is now touring with a circus...
...York Central Railroad stock last March, it did not look as if they would hang on to it very long. The deal gave them the right to sell half of it back to Robert R. Young's Alleghany Corp. and to Young's crony and financial angel, Allan Kirby, at the same price they had paid: $25 a share. Last week they did sell a big chunk of the stock. Richardson sold 200,000 shares to Kirby, thus repaying the $5,000,000 that Kirby had lent him to buy the stock. Another 300,000 shares, in effect...
