Rational Sharpness. Short of such majestic challenges, Olivier is as sure in his work, and as sure a delight to watch, as any living artist. No other actor except Chaplin is as deft a master of everything which the entire body can contribute to a role; few actors can equal him, in the whole middle register of acting. He takes such little words as My father's spirit in arms! and communicates and is worthy of their towering poetry. He can toss off lines like For every man hath business and desire in a way to make Shakespeare congratulate...
Oklahoma, trying to cling to Jim Crow and still satisfy the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Sipuel case (TIME, Jan. 26), had set up a "separate but equal" law school for Negroes in Oklahoma City.

But the vast majority of seats went to moderates...
...Finally he had a black soybean. He named it Santa Maria. Slightly smaller and softer than the common bean, it has none of the bitter aftertaste of the ordinary soybean. More important, it is chock full of proteins and contains all the known vitamins except C. One kilo is equal in protein to six dozen eggs or twelve pints of milk, items always scarce in the Latin American diet. It is also cheaper than the regular bean: 1.50 bolivars per kilo (45?) instead of 2.50 bolivars...
