...jolting information that "we in Britain still produce twice as much as you per head." Listing some recent achievements of "our little island" (radar, jet engines, penicillin, the first telecasts), he told his listeners in words artfully designed to contrast their lot that "since the war we have built over 3,000,000 permanent homes. Most of these outside the centers of town are separate houses, one for each family, and have a garden...
After graduation from Georgetown in '50, Sigmund went to England on a Fulbright, studied for a year at the University of Durham, and "lived in a genuine medieval castle, built by William the Conqueror. It had central heating that worked except for Sundays when they tried to heat the Cathedral, too; and there was a policy of 11 o'clock close-up that meant anyone coming home later had to scale two walls and a dry moat, then climb the castle wall itself. But there were plenty of cracks...
Reformer Quadros, nominally a member of the Brazilian Labor Party but actually a political loner, built a hound's tooth record as Sao Paulo's Governor in a term that ended Jan. 31.

The finale built to a rushing climax, then subsided in a resigned, dramatically simple theme played by strings and woodwinds. The audience could summon up only polite applause. But Cleveland's Composer-Critic Herbert Elwell found Rochberg's mastery of the tone row remarkable and his symphonic ideas "deeply absorbing." The style...
...undisclosed sum, Newhouse sold the Globe's printing equipment and block-long, six-story building (built in 1931) to the Pulitzer family's Post-Dispatch. The P-D will move bodily out of its smaller quarters (built in 1917, added to in 1941) into the Globe building; the Globe will lease new office space elsewhere. The P-D will print all editions of the Globe on contract, thereby follow the national trend (Chicago, Chattanooga), dictated by rising costs, of using one set of presses to print morning and afternoon papers. The Globe will abandon its Sunday paper, print...
