...Theodore Chanler's The Pot of Fat, at the Longy School of Music, Cambridge, Mass., had a plot based on a Grimm fairy tale about the disastrous marriage between a trusting mouse and a villainous cat. The libretto evoked critical catcalls, but the music had a light charm bordering on jazziness. At 53, Composer Chanler has never tried his hand at opera before, but his songs are standouts...
...brass than the sculptors. They generally displayed huge canvases, as the fashion is, but made some concession to hanging problems by favoring very tall pictures instead of very wide ones. Most followed the lead of Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, the proconsuls of abstract expressionism, in energetically weaving fat tangles of paint over their yards and yards of canvas. Yet taken for what it was-decoration-the effect was often charming. Such expert practitioners as Theodores Stamos, James Brooks and the late Bradley Walker Tomlin manage to enfold the observer in a dreamlike flux of colors that goes...
...shacks, tenements, modern homes and tastefully built hospitals that make up "black Leo." In the darkness, millions of candles glow under the mango trees where Negro market women do a roaring trade in bread, beer and dried fish, green-and-brown-striped caterpillars (a delicacy when fried in deep fat) and blackened lumps of elephant meat...

Unhampered by rigid price fixing, the Germans have snatched up a fat slice of the Swiss watchmakers' markets in Scandinavia, the Far East and the U.S., with prices as much as 20% lower. On top of that, Swiss watchmakers, whose exports to the U.S. were already dropping, were further hurt by the 50% boost in U.S. tariffs last summer (TIME, Aug. 9). Their exports to the U.S. market dropped from $68 million in 1953 to $51 million in 1954, and are still running down. As a result...
...Steel's seventh chairman,* Blough will supervise the forthcoming wage negotiations with the C.I.O. Steelworkers, who have announced that they are out for a fat raise (but no guaranteed annual wage). A longer-term goal, laid out by Ben Fairless: expanding U.S. Steel's annual capacity from 38.9 million tons to 60.9 million tons by 1975-just to keep pace with the growing population. Blough, who likes his golf and spends as much time as possible at his country home in Hawley, Pa., where he often cooks for his wife and two daughters, professed to be unexcited...
