...Chest. That was hardly the kind of assurance Seattle was hoping for. At week's end the city's businessmen, politicos and labor leaders were trying to scrape up a $100,000 war chest in a furious campaign to keep Boeing alive in Seattle. The Aeronautical Mechanics Union Local 751 (which struck Boeing last year) was in the midst of a $25,000 advertising campaign; one ad sarcastically suggested that the Grand Coulee Dam, the Bremerton Navy Yard and the Hanford Atomic Works be moved to the Midwest too. Cried one Seattle businessman: "He just tossed...
Hair on the Chest. Singing so that back-row listeners could actually heaf was another problem. But this season plenty of top-rankers were on hand to try. On the nights when the Metropolitan Opera's Ferruccio Tagliavini sang Tosca and Lucia di Lammermoor, there were few empty seats; fans gladly paid double prices to hear once-barred (for alleged collaboration) Tenor Beniamino Gigli sing the operatic twins "Cav" and "Pag" (Cavalleria Rusticana and I Pagliacci) with popular Soprano Maria Caniglia and Baritone Tito Gobbi.

The voice of the mannequin, developed by Audio-Visual Advertising Co., comes from a loudspeaker concealed inside the chest, and is synchronized with lip movements. Price: $284. ¶ Illinois Institute of Technology's Armour Research Foundation announced a cheap method for adding sound to 8-and 16-mm. home movies by putting magnetic material along the edge of the film to make a sound track. With a special sound...
...same old cast was on hand. Dr. Hewlett Johnson, Red Dean of Canterbury, proudly fondled the immense gold cross dangling on his chest-a cherished gift from the Russian Orthodox Patriarch Alexei. "To talk of peace in the Soviet Union," said the Dean sanctimoniously, "is like bringing one's samovar to Tula."* Italy's table-thumping left-wing Socialist Leader Pietro Nenni furiously denounced the Atlantic pact as an instrument of war, shouted that President Truman was "a pocket-sized Napoleon . . ." The U.S. was represented by party-lining Negro educator Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Germany by America...
