...Town. At that point Angels Camp and the A.M.A. both had had enough. A.M.A. members volunteered to clean out the town. Police Chief Joe Spinelli refused, instead persuaded them to cancel a scheduled parade. Spinelli telephoned the Calaveras County sheriff for reinforcements, moved his seven men to the town's edge to join arriving officers in a show of force. The power play was effective. Hoodlums sprawling along Main Street found themselves suddenly pinned between 30-odd policemen walking quietly into town from the south and 14 carloads of state highway patrolmen rolling in from the north. The cops...
...honeymoon. Arthur Murray Party, a perennial replacement, has already bounced cheerily on screen in full color, and will move into half of Robert Montgomery's Monday place next month. Although such giveaways as Tic Tac Dough and The Price Is Right trudge on in the daytime, NBC will cancel Home, its 3½-year-old, hour-long "service" show, in August.

Unwilling to settle for anything less than his full schedule, Caesar invoked a loophole to cancel the NBC contract that guaranteed him $100,000 a year for another seven years...
John L. Wilson, Anheuser-Busch executive vice president, reluctantly discussed the extent to which his company suffered under Dave Beck's heavy hand for the sake of an assumed guarantee of labor peace implied by Beck control-despite the fact that Anheuser-Busch always retains the power to cancel any of its distributorships without notice. Interoffice memos referred to Dave Jr. as "a spoilt child," to Old Dave as "His Majesty the Wheel." Even so, Old Dave was handy to have around. Wilson admitted that he got Beck to intervene on the brewery's behalf in a union...
