...blast by the gynecologist who was appalled by the effect of the Hollywood influence on the display of the female bust, or, as he termed it, sex appendage [TIME, Dec. 27]: I do not believe that it is as much the Hollywood influence as the trend or style established by our doctors, who, for the past 25 years or more, have failed to insist that their patients use that appendage for what nature intended it for-nursing their babies . . . Had this appendage been given as much publicity on what it is really intended for . . . we'd have less psychoses...
Southpaw Puleston works from his own freehand sketches and color notes, and consults museum bird skins (stuffed but unmounted) . Each delicately brushed watercolor takes 15 to 20 hours. "When I'm going full blast every free evening," says Puleston, "I can finish a painting in about a week." Last week Puleston laid aside his brushes and took up binoculars to join in the annual splurge of Christmas bird counting reported in SPORT. He was one of a Viking-blooded group which chartered a fishing boat to cruise the Atlantic off Long Island and New Jersey, prepared to brave arctic...

...SPOTTING PLANES are in the works for the U.S. Army. The artillery, which now flies 130-m.p.h. spotters, wants a small plane fast enough to escape the radio-active blast from its long-range atomic cannon, and has asked several planemakers if they could handle a production order for such a plane. Leading candidate: Cessna's new, 400-m.p.h., T-37 twin-jet trainer (TIME, Aug. 9), now being produced for the Air Force...
...MCCARTHY has done nothing to close the breach within the Republican Party by accusing President Eisenhower of being soft toward Communism. Moreover, his surprising blast at the President has given aid and comfort to his enemies and distressed many of his friends. If we think Sen. McCarthy was off-base in asserting that the Eisenhower Administration has failed to move against the Communists at home while placating them abroad, we likewise believe there were some grounds for his intemperate attitude toward the President. It is perhaps too late to heal the breach between the White House...
