Under the McClellan committee's thumb last week was Dave Beck Jr., 36-year-old, balding facsimile of his egg-bald Teamster-boss father. The long-elusive Junior lost no time on the amenities, plopped his 210-lb. frame into the witness chair, and settled right down to his pleas of possible self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment. He gave his name and address, then began to sound like a tape recording of dear old dad. Beck's bad boy managed to run up 124 uses of the Fifth (papa topped 200), and in one burst of speed...
...Intelligent Conservatism." Bald, hawk-faced Jack Knight, 62, is one of the most influential publishers in the U.S. A shrewd, cost-conscious businessman, he has long articulated a middle-of-the-road political philosophy which mirrors a broad cross section of business thinking; he calls it "intelligent conservatism." While his slick, tricked-up papers seem often to reflect the auditor more than the editor in Knight's nature, they are closely identified with their communities and powerful in local and national politics. (In Illinois politicians say that an endorsement by the Daily News is an automatic guarantee...
...Bald Fact. In the main, U.S. military leaders were making no plans to leap in and take over British positions and obligations around the world. In most key areas, the U.S. has capabilities that do not need reinforcement. The U.S. undoubtedly will have to shift some forces to correct imbalances resulting from the new British program.

...Bald Terms. Nasser was plainly more cocky than he had been last fall. There was now no mention of the U.N.'s six principles he had accepted then, in particular the provision that the canal be "insulated from the politics of any nation." Compensation for the old company's stockholders was referred to "arbitration," in which Nasser could be expected to bring counter-claims for war damages. Though there were polite thanks for the U.N.'s help in clearing the canal and promises of "continued cooperation" with users, the plan stated in all but bald terms that...
...such deft vignettes, CBS's See It Now presented "Poland, 1957," an engrossing, hour-long documentary on the Communist satellite since it gained a limited amount of freedom from Russia last year. Occasionally, the brisk pace was slowed to a walk, as when Poland's brooding, egg-bald Premier Jozef Cyrankiewicz deadpanned noncommittal answers to Correspondent Daniel Schorr's questions. But for the most part the pictures, the reporting, and the narration by Edward R. Murrow succeeded in projecting their intended impression of "a nation on a tightrope," still unsure about its new status. "The typical Polish...
