...Today, Friday means TIMEday to me. After years of reading the magazine I am now content not to find some events which all other papers wrote up, but to find others, which the New York Times had disregarded, take on new meaning when brought together with the other occurrences in their field. The reader sits in the needle's eye where all the news is being pulled through, and he is amazed...

Then he tangled with Jules Caesar Stein's Music Corp. of America, which controls a glittering array of movie and radio talent as tightly as James Caesar Petrillo controls his musicians. As agent for Heidt, Jules Stein was not content to collect only 10% of Heidt's musical earnings; he wanted a cut of all Heidt's earnings.

Like the whites, the Eskimos are content to hug the coast. Their needs are few: cod, salmon, trout and seabirds for food, seal for their blubber lamps. They neither wash nor cook, and they have no need for roads. The sea is their kayak highway in summer; during the long winter, transport by husky-drawn komatik (sled) is fast and cheap...
