Proud of the boss for his work on the President's proposed $77 billion budget for fiscal 1960, the staff of Budget Director Maurice Stans teamed up, gleefully gave him a football jersey, symbolically labeled (in black...
...continuing controversy over the importance of fats as a cause of artery disease, heart attacks and strokes, no investigator has been more conservative than the Cleveland Clinic's Research Director Irvine H. Page (TIME Cover, Oct. 31, 1955), onetime president of the American Heart Association. In 1957 he joined other A.H.A. bigwigs in insisting that the evidence to date does not justify a major change in national eating habits. But now in the A.M.A. Journal, Dr. Page describes a revision in eating habits that he suggests is worth a wide-scale trial. If it pans out, physicians might start...
...Director Wallmann started out as a ballet dancer, had to abandon her career when she fell through a trap door on the Vienna opera stage and broke her hip. She turned to choreography, gradually took on opera-directing chores, is now one of the most sought-after directors in Europe. She is an ardent admirer but not a disciple of Felsenstein, believes that his coldly analytical visions have no place in Milan's mistily sentimental house.

Their silk saris shimmering under the brilliant klieg lights, the shapely dancers swayed around the gaudy temple door. "Cut!" barked the director again and again. In a torrid Bombay movie studio one day last week, the simple, three-minute sequence was reshot eight times. But for the girls, it was worth every minute of a ten-hour day. Like such cinemorsels as Top Star Madhubala and a few other lucky ones, any one of the lowly dancing girls may suddenly grow rajah-rich in the third biggest-and zani-est-movie industry on earth...
Educated Indians huffily pride themselves on never seeing an Indian movie. With the exception of a few original moviemakers in Calcutta, where Director Satyajit Ray filmed the prizewinning Father Panchali (TIME, Oct. 20), the Indian movie business is likely to go on pandering to more undemanding millions than Hollywood ever envisioned. There is good reason: the occasional jackpot is full of jack indeed. For a borrowed $500,000 two years ago, Bombay Producer Mehboob Khan made a color film, Mother India (no kin to Katherine Mayo's book of the same name), which has since raked...
