...Parnes, a onetime dress-shop owner who had hopped on the bandwagon with top British Rocker Tommy Steele (TIME, Dec. 30, 1957), picked up Smith and gave him his new name. Parnes is as mystical as a horse breeder about the importance of names, and the monikers sprouted as fast as his stable: Billy Fury, 17, light-sideburned Dicky Pride, 17, Vince Eager, 18, and Johnny Gentle, the old man of the group at 22. "What you have to do with a name is bring out their inward personality," Parnes explains...
...been handicapped by a broken hand and arm fracture (he finished second in 1956-57, third last season). Key to Pettit's prowess is a one-handed jump shot that he fires from anywhere within basket range the moment he has a teammate to screen for him. Fast for a big man, he follows his shots to the basket, is considered the league's best offensive rebounder. With an ever-improving sense of timing, his defensive play is now much better.

Employment, McDonald noted, has not risen as fast as production since the recession; consequently, his featherbedding idea would take up some of the slack. McDonald, who threatened a strike July1 if there is no new contract by then, also had words for Senator Estes Kefauver. The Senator had proposed that the union peg its wage demands...
...free brochures on how to do it. He started out with 200 birds. Now his output has grown to 1,000,000 a year. The broiler king of England, he has one packing plant, plans another to process his chickens and those of his imitators. The broiler is fast becoming as cheap and popular in England as in the U.S. Thus the new methods of mechanization and automation developed by the U.S. farmer can show the world how to solve the food shortages brought on by the explosion in population. In the next decade, the most important U.S. export...
