...most impressive U.S. thermonuclear work was done at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory with a machine called Perhapsatron S-3. Its doughnut is made of glass surrounded by copper, and is about as big as a scooter tire, with its minor diameter (through the dough) about 2 in. compared to ZETA's 39 in. The temperature of its pinch is higher than ZETA's (about 6,000,000° C.), but the pinch lasts only a few millionths of a second, about one-thousandth as long as ZETA's. Other thermonuclear machines at Los Alamos use short, straight...
...down sharply on luxuries. Mourned a Los Angeles night-owner as he cast an eye over empty bar stools: "I guess I'll have to trim the $2 cover charge. Six months ago it didn't to make any difference. Now people are too uncertain to spend dough." The U.S. public seemed more worried about the economy than during the 1953-54 recession. Consumers are deeper in than they were in 1954, more troubled about the cold war, less confident about the Eisenhower Administration, so they find signs of sag more worrisome. The mood of grey caution took...
Among the high-living union bosses spotlighted by the McClellan committee last summer was the Bakery and Confectionery Workers' creampuff-plump President James G. Cross, who had spent union dough lavishly for personal expenses, including upkeep of a girl friend several times convicted as a tart.

Last week the Bakery Workers' Cross-bossed executive board balked at the order. Meany & Co. promptly suspended the union, sending it to join Jimmy Hoffa...
...revelation begins. Casals sits in a straight chair, dough-faced, tubby, so tiny that his feet no more than reach the floor. With eyes closed, and the fat fiddle hugged to his paunch, he looks more like a village baker dozing over a sack of meal than any possible kind of artist. But then he begins to play. Sudden, full, supple, the big contralto of the cello speaks. The music rushes like a river from a cave. And soon the audience may become aware of a peculiar thing. When Casals plays, it is no more possible to sort...
...Director George Stevens, who pushed James Byron Dean very close to his brilliant acting ceiling in Giant, once phrased an obituary that is probably far more accurate than the Story: "Jimmy was just a regular kid trying to make good in Hollywood. Someone's making a pile of dough out of this morbid Dean business, and that's one reason they're working so hard to keep it alive. But the full irony of Dean's plan to win fame and glory was that his fatal accident wasn't a part of the scheme...
