Just one little demurrer. TIME credited the builders, architects, designers, planners for this unprecedented achievement. Only one group went unmentioned, the men who built these edifices-the bricklayers, ironworkers, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, painters, operating engineers, lathers, in short, the building tradesmen, those who brave freezing weather, driving rains, torrid sunshine and who sometimes gamble-and lose-life and limb to erect these grandiose edifices...
...meaty shoulder against highway patrolmen, trying to force his way past. Ruddy-faced Marshal McShane, 53, is a formidable man. He won the Golden Gloves welterweight championship of New York City back in 1930, and he has since added many pounds of solid flesh.

What Romney did for the Rambler was to build a loyal following to whom its unchanging, old-fashioned looks seemed a comfortable complement to economy and leonine performance.

Del Rosario is president of International Electric Appliance Co.. Inc., organized two months ago to assemble General Electric appliances. He is chairman of Del Rosario Brothers Industries, which has a majority interest in the appliance company and in a pioneering credit company (of which he is president). He is also president of Philippine Investment-Management Consultants, Inc.. which...
...sound words make when dropped at random, have largely ignored poetry's old didactic chore: refining and explaining experience. The occasional poet who addresses man's need to know the lessons poetry alone can teach (Robert Lowell, for example) has seemed remarkably clear-perhaps even brave. Such a poet is Anthony Ostroff, whose first volume is as visionary as it is precise...
