...more reasonable than he used to be. When he became boss in 1961, he scarcely concealed his distrust of big business, often squabbled with his four commissioners. Frustrated by the fights on high and uneasy about the commission's broad and petty swoops on business, many of the brightest young FTC lawyers quit. Dixon did some hard thinking. He fought the morale problem by pushing pay raises and speeding promotions, began to side with staffers more sympathetic to business; recently he declared that "all but a handful" of businessmen want to compete fairly. One result...
...taking on in 1960 a new leading man to spruce up her image: Hugh Carleton Greene, now 54, brother of Novelist Graham Greene, as director general. Greene brought in fresh-and often brash-young men, gave them a free hand to teach Auntie how to twist. One of the brightest results was a free-swinging satiric show called That Was the Week That Was, which lampooned everything in sight, most particularly the then ruling Tories. It proved such a dose of acid and old lace that as last year's elections approached, Greene felt it prudent to close...
...most to open up the vistas of vastus lateralis is André Courrèges, 41, the brightest new star in the Paris firmament. A former disciple of Balenciaga, Courrèges (pronounced Koo-reige) set up his own shop in 1961, soon became known as the trouser king for his slim, slit-at-the-bottom slacks and his formal trouser suits. This February his pencil-thin mannequins popped out in severe white dresses cut three inches above the knee and white, mid-calf boots open at the toe. The highflying hem was born. The French Vogue and Elle devoted...
Chips & Splints. This year's casualties beat all. First there was Mary Hecht's Sadair, which won more money ($498,217) last year than any two-year-old in history; two months ago in Florida, Sadair cracked a bone in his foot. Then there was Bold Lad, brightest star in Mrs. Henry Carnegie Phipps's Wheatley Stable, the top money-winning stable in the U.S. ($1,073,572 in 1964). A son of Bold Ruler, "the fastest horse in the world up to nine furlongs," Bold Lad seemed like a chip off the old block when...
...concrete raft. Scraps of canvas make the ship sail. A fortnight ago, the museum's chief art donor, California Entrepreneur Norton Simon, acquired Rembrandt's Titus (TIME, March 26) for a staggering $2,234,400. Eventually it will go to the new museum-the brightest star in a firmament of fine art valued at some $35 million...
