...formula, Armour is by far the fastest-changing meat company. Prince has put more than 40% of its assets into more profitable lines, notably those that were originally meat byproducts, such as chemicals, oils and soaps. Last week, for example, Armour began regional marketing of its Princess Dial, a complexion soap for women, to go with its deodorant Dial, the nation's leader in dollar volume. But Prince is not overlooking his meat marketing. Armour has begun to sell high-profit, boil-in-the-pack frozen meals, and soon will begin limited marketing of "freeze-dried" dehydrated meats that...
...professional show-off who attracts attention to what he is doing, but an artist who reveals what he is. And what Sellers is, solely and invariably, is the character he is portraying. In playing Shaw's exotic sawbones, he employs all manner of visual props: a purple complexion, a sweaty old fur cap, a superb Calcutta accent that sounds as though he had swallowed a noisy fly as he opened his mouth to talk. Nevertheless, the makeup helps to make, not a music-hall figure of fun, but a man-a gentle, warm, naive and wonderfully decent man. Sellers...
...must call in person at the nearest U.S. consulate for a visa (visas have all but vanished in Western Europe). If lucky, the hopeful traveler will only have to answer the 15 questions listed on the "simplified" application form, which asks the traveler to give his nationality, complexion, race and ethnic classification.

The consular aide put him straight, telling him that he was a Caucasian. "I said I'd never heard of the Cauca sian race...
...Loewe likes to recall that he "starved" for 20 years; Lerner has always been wealthy. Short, lean, with the sallow skin of the heart patient, Loewe is 59 and looks it; about the same height (5 ft. 6 in.), with small bones and an unweathered complexion, Lerner is 42 and could pass for a graduate student. Both men are intensely ambitious for the critical success of their work, but Lerner clothes his self-esteem in mannered diffidence while Loewe shrugs: "I'm too old to be modest. I'm a genius and I know...
When he first entered the House of Representatives in 1947, a gangling, 29-year-old youth still wearing his South Pacific suntans and a complexion yellowed by treatment for wartime malaria, there was considerable doubt about what Congressman Kennedy really did think. He seemed like a mixed package, partly conservative, partly liberal and a little bewildered, and Kennedy accepts the early label as accurate: "I'd just come out of my father's house at the time, and these were the things I knew." He meticulously served the parochial interests of his district-Boston's poorest-voting...
