...chick, if not yet scratching, is not unscratched. Five years ago, the Manhattan-based Bon Ami Co. was looted of $3,000,000 by Swindler Alexander Guterma (TIME. Feb. 23, 1959). As Guterma was packed off to jail, a reform management team, headed by dapper airline and hotel operator R. (for nothing) Paul Weesner, 51, moved in to put Bon Ami back on its feet. Last week, in New York State Supreme Court, a mounting stack of complaints and affidavits charged that the chick had been plucked again by its new keepers and demanded that a receiver be appointed...
...Dapper and erect at 58, Hawkins dominates the bandstand. Body swaying slightly, he shuts his eyes as he uncoils his long, looping solos with their artfully building figurations, their insistently driving rhythms, their soaring air of abandon. In such numbers as Groovin' or Moonglow, Hawkins' sax capers in a loose-jointed way that mirrors the musician's pleasure; in Think Deep, say, or When Day Is Done, the style remains as virile as ever, but the tone becomes even warmer and more open-throated-mellow in a manner that Saxophone Inventor Adolphe Sax (1814-94) would never...
...questioning began, the dapper, silver-haired man rose and faced the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee. For the next 2½ hours, although invited to be seated, Justice Cooper stood and defended his record as chief justice of New York City's court of special sessions from 1951 to 1960, when he resigned because of the mental strain of the job. Cooper described a judicial nightmare of overcrowded dockets, inadequate facilities and inept assistants that forced him to adopt a rigorous code of courtroom conduct...
Emerging from a visit to the White House last week, dapper Anthony J. Celebrezze, 51, smiled noncommittally when newsmen asked whether he and President Kennedy saw eye to eye on the controversial issue of federal aid to parochial schools. "I'm not sure he knows my position," said the newly appointed Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. For that matter, neither did anyone else, including the Senate, which confirmed Celebrezze's nomination at week's end without even asking him about it. But it hardly made any difference, for Cele-brezze's views were among...
...defying the trend. It is MCA Inc., the sprawling talent agency that controls a majority of Hollywood's biggest stars* and is thus largely responsible for the astronomical salaries they have forced on the older studios. MCA has grandly announced plans to "revitalize the film industry." Founded by dapper Jules Stein 38 years ago, MCA has long dictated casting to producers with "package deals" in which a buyer takes a mixed bag of stars and shows in order to get a few good ones. In 1949, MCA moved into television to "fill the vacuum" created by Hollywood...
