...been doing year in & year out for the past 43 years: teaching U.S. artists how to draw the human figure. The oldster's name, as unfamiliar to the general public as it is familiar to practically every artist in the U.S., was George Brant Bridgman. Teacher Bridgman has good reason to take his teaching duties seriously. Some 70,000 artists (including Alexander Brook, John LaGatta, Eugene Speicher, McClelland Barclay, Norman Rockwell) learned their bones and muscles in his quiet, methodical classes...
...Carteret, N. J., members of C. I. O.'s United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers Union, joined by non-union employes, walked out of the Foster Wheeler Corp. plant. Reason: they had been refused a 10% pay rise. Neil Brant, union organizer, was arrested for defiling the U. S. flag. He had pounded on the flag when it was draped over the chairman's table at a strike meeting. ¶ In Chicago, a strike at the International Harvester Tractor Works threatened to spread to the huge McCormick Works next door. Struck were the Harvester Rock Falls...
...United Aircraft's Pratt & Whitney division. Last week both companies put out promising engine news. Curtiss-Wright's President Guy Warner Vaughan mounted a tractor-plow, broke ground for a huge new factory at Lockland (Hamilton County), Ohio. Pratt & Whitney's co-founder and chairman, Frederick Brant Rentschler, opened two additions to his factory at East Hartford, Conn., announced that still more space will be ready next spring...

The author of My Heart's in the Highlands, The Time of Your Life, Inhale & Exhale (short stories), called his experiment a "balletplay." It used music (composed by Henry Brant), dancing (choregraphed by Eugene Loring), dialogue (Saroyan's), and exquisite, dreamy sets consisting of stereopticon shadows cast on gauzy overlapping screens (Boris Aronson)-was, as Saroyan boasted in his cocky program note, "a new American form." As usual by Saroyan, critics were baffled; some thought the experiment goofy, some thought...
...when there were flights of 150,000,000 ducks instead of 65,000,000, when the season was 3½ months long instead of 45 days, and there was no such thing as daily bag limits (this year's daily bag limit is ten ducks, four geese or brant). Tyros tickled oldsters with their newfangled theories learned on the skeet fields. Everyone grumbled about the Federal "nuisance" regulations: no shooting before 7 a.m. or after 4 p.m.; no more than three shells in a gun; no live decoys; no baiting in duck-shooting areas. And many an ardent wildfowler...
