Bringing in the Leaves. For tobacco, last of the major field crops to require picking by hand, the Long Mfg. Co. of Tarboro, N. C. has developed a seven-man harvester mounted on wheeled stilts that can gather and tie into bundles enough leaves to fill two drying barns a day (seven men working by hand can fill only one barn a day). The harvester, which will be in production by January, can also be converted into a crop duster. Price: about...
...living legend stepped on to the stage of the steamy barn theater at Jacob's Pillow in Massachusetts' Berkshires one day last week. She was Ruth St. Denis, world-famed dancer for more than half a century and, with Isadora Duncan, founder of modern dance.

To forestall an invasion, Carney leaked a strategic news item to a society columnist, who reported that "Admiral Carney says he expects to move into the admiral's house on Observatory Hill." Ridgway told the same...
...most of his traveling now in a small French Simca and has had his share of minor crises. He once had to hitchhike for miles on a snowy German highway after two tires blew out. Another time, he spent the night cuddling three hot-water bottles in a Lancashire barn when there was no room in the local inn. He has lost his share of shirts to hotel laundries, suffered his moments of confusion in dealing with six different currencies, but wherever he goes, Perret reports, he finds that TIME has made friends for him before his arrival...
