What got everybody burned up for fair was Ava's refusal to show up at two scheduled press conferences; then she irritated photographers by rarely appearing in public without a newspaper or purse to hide her pretty face. In answer, the papers served up juicy stories of a roaring party in Melbourne, Ava's bitter argument over her hotel room: it was newly decorated, but she insisted that it be done again with expensive English wallpaper.

...comparison he modestly rejects. The record, though, is of a Jack-of-all-musical-trades, and a master of many. In ten years he has worked on something like 30 films, composing, arranging, orchestrating and conducting quite a few entirely on his own, including It's Always Fair Weather and Bad Day at Black Rock.

Last week the FPC finally had an answer. In a test case involving the Phillips Petroleum Co. of Bartlesville, Okla., FPC Presiding Examiner Joseph Zwerdling recommended that Phillips be permitted a 9.25% return on its investment. The rate was a compromise between the 18% return asked by Phillips and the 6% return that...
