...Paris' Palais de Chaillot last week, workmen put the finishing touches on NATO's elaborately furnished, brand-new press conference room. At one end of the well-appointed room rises a stage for briefing officers, flanked by a photographers' gallery, a glass-enclosed television room and simultaneous translation booths so that newsmen would not miss a word of what was said. There is only one trouble. The 160 newsmen regularly covering NATO know from past experience that comparatively little will be said for publication.

...ocean-front street in Miami Beach last week, 500 dealers swarmed around 16 brand-new trailers to see what was new in mobile homes for 1953.

To his admirers, it is not only a brand-new style, it is the handsomest stuff since the birth of bop. In one of Manhattan's basement jazz dens last week, Brubeck and his quartet gave the East an earful...
...patterns-and, if they turned up barnyard squawks and eerie moans along the way, maybe those could be used too. They know their "tapesichord" will never displace the orchestra ("After all, Beethoven's Ninth is still Beethoven's Ninth"), but they believe it will give composers a brand-new range of effects...
