Family Entertainment. Although professional nostalgics lamented the demolition of the old Roseland building as the end of an era, the dance hall had actually been changing its function for a long time. It started as a refuge for the "poor young clerks" Scott Fitzgerald wrote about; it evolved into a place of family entertainment. From the beginning, Founder Louis Brecker, a onetime Philadelphia accountant, was determined to put Roseland in a class beyond the average taxi dance hall. He publicized it as the "home of refined dancing" and installed two continuously playing orchestras (practically unheard of till then). He spotted...
...Reward. Extravagantly Nehru praised U.S. conduct in the Suez flare-up, i.e., Ike's forceful denunciation of British and French aggression, informed him that the American attitude opened the door to a new era of confidence and cooperation between the U.S. and India, as well as with the rest of non-Communist Asia.

Cole's Arcadian views, seemingly observed through a dusty brass telescope, opened the way for a score of great artists who wedded themselves to the infinitely various U.S. landscape. Then, in the supposedly materialistic era following the Civil War, three titans loomed on the horizon of U.S. art, as they still do today: Ryder, Homer and Eakins. Ryder saw life as something of a dream, Homer as a struggle, and Eakins as a solemn commitment. Each pictured it as he saw it, with complete integrity...
...years. Schary is the fourth Hollywood production boss to go in recent months. The others: 20th Century-Fox's Darryl Zanuck, Paramount's Don Hartman, Columbia's Jerry Wald. Schary's ousting put the movie industry's seal on the end of an old era-the period of major studios with their assembly-line production of dozens of movies every year. The new era features independent production in which each movie gets autonomous handling even when it is done within the framework of a big studio. The man most likely to succeed Schary: Ben Thau...
