...devoted 90 minutes to the bravura extravagance of Cyrano de Bergerdc. As the Pinocchio-beaked hero, José Ferrer gave the season's best starring performance, whether spitting an opponent on his sword or agonizing for love of Roxane, who, as played by Britain's enchanting Claire Bloom, seemed well worth it. Playwrights '56 struck a more sombre note with Ernest Hemingway's The Battler, whose familiar plot (a heavyweight champion is broken by success) was well-served by Paul Newman as the crazed, broken-faced pug, and Dewey Martin as a young runaway who finds...
...first third-quarter earnings came out from U.S. business last week, and put another rosy bloom on the boom...
British Inflation. In Britain, too the bloom was off the boom. British production is higher than it has ever been, but British wages are higher still. The result is a classic case of inflation: too many pounds are chasing too few goods. There was also chronic overemployment. There are 480,000 jobs going begging in British factories..

But most Kentuckians could hardly no tice or hear last week above the political din that filled the state. Albert Benjamin Chandler, 57, Kentucky's governor in 1935-39 and U.S. Senator in 1939-45, was noisily on the comeback trail (TIME, April 11). "Happy" Chandler was wowing the voters everywhere with his own special brand of political minstrelsy. His opponent for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, Judge Bertram T.
