Frobisher, Davis, Hudson, Baffin, Parry, Ross and Franklin, intrepid seamen and scientists whose names memorially dot the Arctic, were some among dozens who sought a key to the Northwest Passage to Asia across America's ice-locked top. But not until 1906 did any man navigate completely across the Arctic. Roald Amundsen, Norway's hero-explorer, in a three-year trip and with the loss of one of his seven men, traversed the first Northwest Passage*-Baffin Bay, Barrow Straight, along the west coast of North Somerset Island to Cambridge Bay and out to Beaufort...
Having Wonderful Time (by Arthur Kober; Marc Connelly, producer), the season's pleasantest institutional drama, is laid in one of the numerous cheap summer camps for New York Jews which dot the Berkshires. Those who have not visited such a resort as Camp Kare-Free may already be familiar with the nature of its patrons through Arthur Kober's piteous, humorous, sharply observed New Yorker reports, collected in book form as Thunder over The Bronx, on the year-round behavior of one-sixth of New York City's population...

With total assets of less than $2,000,000, Hoskins last year made $429,000. Slow-spoken, tousled, deliberate, Metalman Marsh wears polka-dot ties, is rarely without a cigar. Before last week he had never received scientific kudos. Never plagued by labor troubles at the Hoskins plant, he worked out an employe compensation plan 13 years ago whereby a generous slice of profits is distributed to his 200 workers every year. Many...
