...About Eve was made in 1950. It won the academy award that year with its story of an aging actress who is toppled from her position as the leading star on Broadway by an ambitious newcomer. This plot seems pretty ironic now, because much the same thing has actually happened, and to two of the actresses employed in this film. Bette Davis, who played the slightly sodden and sinking grade dame, retired shortly after she finished the picture. But a young girl who made her first movie appearance in All About Eve has since then become a sort of national...
...Star Farmer award is the highest that can come to one of the 383,000 members of the Future Farmers of America, a voluntary organization that includes more than 95% of all U.S. high-school boys taking vocational agriculture courses. Since it was founded in 1928, the F.F.A., along with the 4-H Clubs, has trained the farm youth in the science of his profession, taught him to use and live with his machines, given him a strength of pride in his calling and a broadened outlook at the world about him. Yesterday's F.F.A. leaders have helped bring...

The U.S. Supreme Court ended the long legal battle by refusing to review a New York federal jury's $175,001 award to Reynolds (TIME, July 5, 1954 et seq.), after Pegler branded him a nudist and coward...
...Pegler will not be out of pocket: under his contract Hearst is liable for the tab, which will run to more than $200,000, counting attorneys' fees and 6% interest from the day of judgment. Nor is the fat award all pure gravy for Reynolds. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service now has a lien against him for $40,000 for back taxes, also expects to collect income tax on the whole sum. But Reynolds' lawyer believes that the sum is taxfree; thus the award may land in court again...
