...little tent of blue which prisoners call the sky drew closer for ex-Teamster Boss Dave Beck, 66, now tending his manifold private interests in Seattle. The State Supreme Court of Washington upheld his conviction for pocketing $1,900 from the sale of a used Cadillac that was owned by the trusting Teamsters...
...body to repair the damage. Italian surgeons pioneered with rerouting one or two small arteries from the upper chest to the heart wall. The operation is relatively minor and safe, but most U.S. cardiologists doubt that it does much good, if any. Cleveland's Dr. Claude S. Beck (TIME, March 25, 1957) and Manhattan's Dr. Samuel Thompson (TIME, Nov. 13, 1950) relied on a different principle. If tissues in and around the heart are irritated, they develop an increased blood supply. So these surgeons opened the heart sac and supplied an irritant by dusting with talc...
...fact, the situation is not much improved by anything. The Poets' production (directed by Miss Manning; designed with some competence by John Beck) is generally below Harvard standards, eschewing realism without attaining anything in particular, certainly not anything witty or apposite or authoritative.

The acting ranges from close-but-no-cigar to indescribably painful. Eustacia Grandin, Stephen Aaron...
...union" speech that he usually managed to make just a day or so before President Eisenhower's official State of the Union message. He had, with apparent meekness, given in to the demands of a little group of Senate Democratic liberals that he convene party conferences at their beck and call. He had even held onto his temper when one of the liberals, Tennessee's Albert Gore, urged that the power of appointing members of Senate Democratic policymaking committees be taken out of Johnson's hands. In fact, for a few fleeting, fanciful days, the dissident liberals...
...newspaper notices, The Connection has been running for six months and is going strong. The weekly reviewers helped save the play, but it actually owes its survival to the fact that it was staged by a determined repertory company known as the Living Theater, managed since 1951 by Julian Beck, 34, and his wife Judith Malina, 33. So far, Living Theater has produced some 18 plays, half new, half old, all experimental in their time-Strindberg's The Spook Sonata, Gertrude Stein's Doctor Faustus Lights the Lights, Pirandello's Tonight We Improvise, which now alternates with...
