Ohio Republican Stewart, already the possessor of a distinguished judicial reputation (see box), succeeds another distinguished Ohio Republican. Harvard-trained Lawyer Harold Burton, Truman-appointed, was mildly conservative in outlook, served on the adventuresome Warren court not as a guiding rudder but as a valuable anchor to windward. Last year, in one of the most important Supreme Court minority opinions of the decade, Burton powerfully dissented from the ruling that Du Font's 23% stock ownership of General Motors violated antitrust laws (TIME, June 17, 1957).

Producer Wald (20th Century-Fox) is running up new box-office records with Peyton Place, has a dozen other books (from Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio to Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury) either almost in the can or getting ready for the cameras. When there are not enough books to his liking on the market, Wald invents some. For years he saved clippings on the subject of young college-grad career girls in the big city, finally talked to Simon and Schuster's late editor. Jack Goodman, who passed the tip on to a promising...
