...that Westerners first realized that a great change had come over their Soviet colleagues. At previous conferences, the Russians spoke only Russian, kept to themselves, and if asked a specific question, were apt to feign ignorance. But at Geneva, they were magpie-ready to talk. Aerodynamic Expert Gunther Bock, one of the German scientists taken to Russia after the war, went home to report that "in branches of science where Marxism-Leninism is not directly applicable, there is no feeling of oppression. I could discuss my field with no sense of being in Russia or America or Brazil." Adds...
...Body Beautiful (music and lyrics by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick; book by Joseph Stein and Will Glickman) is wholeheartedly, though in spots enjoyably, mediocre. Treating of the fight world, it drapes the plot round a rich, handsome Dartmouth graduate who wants to box his way to glory and falls in love with a girl who disapproves. Their squabbles over the ring, and his adventures in it, are about the dullest part of the show. It bounces to life in Jack Warden's amusing, likable performance as a fight manager, most notably when he goes fully clothed, on business...
...sharpest growth in the Service's history has taken place during the past two years, since Dana L. Farnsworth succeeded Arlie V. Bock as head of the University Health Services. During 1953-1954, Gaylord P. Coon, Chief of Psychiatry since 1946 and the only full-time psychiatrist, and other, part-time, psychiatrists saw a little over 500 patients, a decrease from the previous year. In 1954-55, Farnsworth's first year, Coon was still the only full-time man, and the Service saw nearly 600 people. Last year, the staff had been expanded to include four full-time psychiatrists, three...
...Wonderful (book by Joseph Stein and Will Glickman; music and lyrics by Jerry Bock, Larry Holofcener and George Weiss) recalls the wag who wondered what would have happened historically had Plymouth Rock landed on the Pilgrims. For Mr. Wonderful much less suggests Nightclub Artist Sammy Davis Jr. finally landing on Broadway than Broadway landing on him. It has bedded down this master of loud sounds in pointless noise; it has surrounded this demon of driving energy with feckless hullabaloo. The effect is of a nightclub talent not so much fighting his way out of a musicom-edy frame...
...complained U.A.W. Secretary-Treasurer Emil Mazey, "and he'll tell you how to make a watch." One Small Beer. When the Reuther brothers were touring Europe, they arrived hot and hungry one night in Munich's Hofbräuhaus. Victor challenged Walter to down a liter of bock beer before dinner. He did and has not cared for drinking since. At cocktail parties he takes a Manhattan, eats the cherry and leaves the drink. At a union meeting once, he promised to "have fun with the boys afterwards" in return for a favorable vote. Reuther won the vote...
