...call it Alice in Wonderland through a smoky looking glass. The play asks us, as Alice does, to marvel at the cornucopian richness of a child's imagination. In this case, however, the cornucopia is a devil's horn. She doesn't realize it, but Emma in her nocturnal wanderings has been rooting in a graveyard. Twelve Dreams is grim and gorgeous...
Whole new technologies such as nylon, the first all-synthetic fiber, and neoprene, the first U.S. commercial synthetic rubber, have sprung from Du Pont's cornucopian test tubes. Last year 175 manufacturers built the tops of 12 million pairs of shoes with Du Pont's three-year-old synthetic Corfam, which is supposed to look, feel and "breathe" like natural leather.

Two sisters, Ester (Ingrid Thulin) and Anna (Gunnel Lindbloom), and Anna's little boy, Johan (Jorgen Lindstrom), interrupt their railroad trip in a strange country where a strange language is spoken, because of Ester's strange coughing fits. They rent a room in a hotel with long corridors...
This year, however, the produce entries were virtually confined to a single cornucopian assemblage of 17 varieties of vegetables, submitted by a FORTUNE salesman who "farms" an acre or two of land at Oyster Bay, Long Island. There was no shortage of spectators. More of them, including scores of casual passersby, turned up than ever before, and one interested visitor confessed that "this is my third country fair at TIME and I look forward to it every year...
