...country except when it has to. On the other hand . . . the business concerns of our country . . . should consider where do our long-term interests lie. And certainly they demand a Europe that is not flat on its back economically . . . Oil must flow in such a quantity as to fill up every tanker we have operating at maximum capacity, and if that doesn't occur, then we must do something in the way, first, I should say, of conference and argument, and, if necessary, we would have to move in some other region or some other direction, either with...
...Gore Vidal) attracted considerable attention as a satirical TV yarn about a man from a distant and civilized planet who. via flying saucer, visits his "hobby," the Earth. It later aroused considerable speculation as to how, without being sadly watered down, a good saucerful of TV fun could fill a regulation soup bowl of a play. The problem has been solved, on the whole quite happily, by not turning Visit to a Small Planet into a play. It has been turned, instead, into a kind of vaudeville show, with two expert comedians, Cyril Ritchard and Eddie Mayehoff, handling the routines...
Same Old Dragons. All that the Ring has lacked at the Met, according to Wagner fans, has been heroic-voiced singers to fill its gargantuan roles.

With no Chippendale to turn to, more and more modern architects are trying their hands at the designer's art, turning out a new kind of furniture to fill the empty rooms of their new buildings. The result is a family of modern classics in furniture, from bubble lamps to chrome-legged ottomans (see color page), that completes the modern picture as harmoniously as Sheraton and Chippendale fitted the classic Georgian settings of their...
Though the U.S. oil pipeline system would gird the globe 7½ times, it is still not enough. In Houston last week, six oil companies (Continental, Standard of California, Gulf, Richfield, Shell and Superior) prepared to fill another gap in the system, jointly formed the Four Corners Pipe Line Co. to supply California with its first piped crude oil. Houstonian R. G. McIntyre, recently retired chairman of the board of Standard Oil of Texas, was elected president of Four Corners, named for the oil-rich area where the borders of Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado meet. The new line...
