...Hard-core Peronistas, outlawed as a party but still reasonably well organized through former Dictator Juan Peron's spy network, are being urged by clandestine leaflets to cast blank ballots in all elections until their hero returns. A hodgepodge of smaller parties, whose leaders fear a licking at the polls, has also come out for blank ballots. Meanwhile, the powerful Radicals faction, headed by Lawyer Arturo Frondizi, is hoping to gain control of the assembly, vote its immediate dissolution and call for general elections. The People's Radical Party, which split off from the Frondizi group last winter...
Several million Americans currently own woofers, tweeters, featherweight pickups, three-position rumble filters and other strong magic for hearing music as it really sounds. Recently the hard-core hi-fiers. have been tuning their ears to even newer vibrations-the sounds of stereophonic tape. The record industry, with a fortune invested in disks, is sidling up to stereo tapes with the nervous caution of a man who fears he may be feeding the puppy that will bite him. The industry goes on with the feeding, though, because there is a possibility that the pup will grow up into...
...Zoli unhappily resigned (TIME, June 17). No sooner had Zoli departed than Gronchi, who also has firm ideas on domestic policy-he has long argued for admission of the Red-tinged Nenni Socialists into the government-issued a pronouncement.

...Beehive's director, Dr. G. Van der Wai, an unabashed enthusiast for things made in the U.S.A., turned naturally to the U.S. for an architect. Breuer responded with a clear, simple idea: "Essentially a department store is a big, empty box built around a central circulation core, with the walls closed to provide ample storage." In a move away from glass, he sheathed the box in travertine, employing hexagonal forms to give the façade the overall pattern of a honeycomb, set in slit windows (Rotterdam shoppers like to check materials in the sunlight). Here and there...
...comedian, even the TV Pleistocene Age's Milton Berle, has matched Sid Caesar's staying power or his grip on the loyalty of hard-core fans. More than that, by common show-business consent, he is one of the truly great clowns. Apart from sheer technical mastery of pantomime, dialect, timing and the ad lib, Caesar has a creative gift for spoofing the stuffy and the phony and for finding endless fun in universal human foibles and frustrations. His career, which began as a $10-a-week saxophonist on New York's borsch circuit, has made...
