Conservative Columnist David Lawrence, no admirer of Adlai Stevenson, called the proposal "the most significant utterance this year on labor issues by any political figure." Stevenson, said Lawrence, had voiced the U.S. public's deep disgust at the "irresponsible use of economic power." But despite public disgust, despite President Eisenhower's stern admonition before he departed for Asia that "America needs a settlement now," despite the danger than an aroused public might prod Congress into passing drastic antistrike legislation, Dave McDonald and the steel industry's negotiator, Conrad Cooper, broke off negotiations at midweek in another display...
Boston's famed Heart Specialist Paul Dudley White, 73, is almost as eager as was Captain Ahab to sink a harpoon into the mightiest leviathan of the deep, but for a different reason: he wants to record its electrocardiogram. Dr. White has logged the ECG of a small (only 1¼ ton) Beluga whale in Alaska (TIME, Aug. 25, 1952), but has been thwarted in efforts to get his electrodes into the bigger grey whale off California. Last week he was within a heartbeat of an equally desirable prize, and missed by a fluke...
...helped build it is descended from a builder of the Pyramids. His handshake sets the theme for the whole: friendship, love and earned reward.

Last month, still about $10 million short of the goal, Harvard went back to wealthy alumni who had already given. Last week the results were announced: out of deep pockets in three weeks flowed 18 six-figure gifts totaling $3,100,000, to boost the pledges to $75 million. No sooner had the word been issued than other Harvard-men jumped in to help raise the remaining $7,500,000. Sample: Fund Chairman H. Irving Pratt dropped a casual...
Perhaps more revealing than this sort of couch talk are some lines that Playwright William Gibson wrote into Seesaw while the show was trying out on the road. The middleaged, Midwestern lawyer tells Gittel: "I said [you are] a beautiful girl; I didn't mean skin-deep-there you're a delight. Anyone can see. And underneath is a street brawler. That some can see. But under the street brawler is something as fresh and crazy and timid as a colt." And that, right now, is probably as good a description of Anna Maria Italiano...
