...surface. The U.S. Weather Bureau insists that winds and rainfalls give some areas (including the northern U.S.) a great deal more than their share of the global fallout. Biological concentration is even more disturbing. Grazing animals skim the fallout from large areas of grass, and it concentrates in their flesh and milk. Sea animals do the equivalent. Biologists fear that many such concentrating mechanisms may exist unsuspected. This is one reason why the U.S. Public Health Service is starting to inspect U.S. milk for undue radioactivity. West Germany is doing the same, and the Japanese are old hands at detecting...
...post-Revolutionary figures as painted by America's most skillful miniaturists (opposite). Some of them pack immense values into a minuscule space-accuracy of the likeness, deftness of characterization, clarity of form, purity of texture, a glow of the ivory through the delicate colors to enhance the flesh tones.

...love Song. This week Tommy helps Kraft TV celebrate its tenth anniversary in a drama called Flesh and Blood, in which he sings My Love Song, a tired, trite, bronchial number far out of Sands's usual rock-'n'-roll line ("But I like all kinds of music"). He also opens a three-week, $30,000 engagement at Manhattan's Roxy before going back to Hollywood to make The Singin' Idol for 20th Century-Fox, with which he has a seven-year contract...
