...other Senior Fellows will be Bernard Knox of Yale, Richard Lattimore of Bryn Mawr, Whitney Oates of Princeton, and James H. Oliver of Johns Hopkins...
...influential heyday, Boston Industrialist Bernard Goldfine, now finished with a three-month stretch for contempt of court and adjudged psychologically incompetent to stand trial on a tax evasion rap, tried to extend his sphere of largesse beyond Presidential Aide Sherman Adams. Among other grand gestures, Goldfine once sent every state Governor a bolt of costly vicuna fabric turned out in his own mills. One Governor who never returned the gift was Michigan Democrat G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams, Jack Kennedy's new Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs. Last week, at a farewell party thrown for him by Michigan...
...Blackleg!" the shop steward (Bernard Lee) rages. The factory owner (Laurence Naismith), anxious to avoid unnecessary trouble with the union, is disgusted with him, too.

His story, charged the state, is "unqualifiedly false." It could find "ascertainable" profits of only $216,000. Darvas and Publisher Bernard Mazel, head of American Research Council, an investment-advisory service, were ordered to come in and prove that the dancer had indeed made a market killing. The action was the first to be taken under a broadened state law that bans fraud or misrepresentation in giving investment advice...
