...modest .251 with Newark last year. During the winter to build himself up, he swung an overweighted bat in the cellar of his San Francisco home, faithfully executed 25 pushups morning & night. At week's end, Coleman had hit safely in seven consecutive games, had a fat .400 average. That was not as good as Rookie Johnny Groth's .439 for the Detroit Tigers; Groth, who had been picked in spring training as the most likely candidate for rookie-of-the-year (TIME, March 28), was leading the league. But the relatively unsung Coleman was runner-up. Moreover...
...Floor. But Bérard would be remembered more for his influence and his eccentricities than for his painting. It would be hard for his friends to forget Bébé waddling about Paris dragging his fat, slovenly white poodle "Hyacinth" on a dirty rope. At fashion shows he would sometimes sprawl full-length on the floor with Hyacinth in his arms, clapping his hands and crying out "Ravishing!" as the models swished past his head. If he did that, the dresses were sure to be a success...
...much is it worth to have the President's ear? Two and a half months ago a sympathetic Manhattan jury decided that if the whisperer was Oilman James A. Moffett, it was worth plenty.

With all these fat earnings, some stockholders got fatter dividends. U.S. Steel, which had paid a $1.25 quarterly rate since December 1947, shucked out $1.50. Jones & Laughlin paid 35% extra dividend in stock. Colorado Fuel & Iron Corp., whose regular basis is 25? quarterly, topped them all with a special dividend...
...that all officers should take a non-communist affidavit. This was not a meddling 80th Congress but the rank and file of our 14,000 members in several states. The aforementioned officers refused, so we had to summon a council. Despite 81/2 hours of filibuster by Henderson and a fat gentleman, from the clothing workers union I believe, the delegates voted that all members of the council should take the non-communist affidavit or get. They got. Next day they called our charter, as the International could do legally, and our union ceased to be a democratic union. Our union...
