...industry, which will spend an estimated $35 billion on expansion this year, the talk last week was that 1956 is only the beginning. Speaking to the Investment Bankers Association in Hollywood, Fla., Bethlehem Steel Corp. President Arthur Bartlett Homer gave the steel industry's forecast for tomorrow and beyond: "We will have to increase capacity by more than 50% in the next 15 years to meet the continuing longterm growth needs of the American economy." In hard figures, said Steelman Homer, that means another 70 million tons of capacity, or a total of 200 million tons of steel annually...
...League fans may rejoice at the notoriety given the Elis' outstanding forward, but Lee's presence can only forecast another tough season for Floyd Wilson's Harvard basketball team, for if Yale is going to be strong, so is Dartmouth, Princeton, Columbia, and Pennsylvania. The last two seasons, under Wilson's coaching, the Crimson has tied for last place with Brown (and Yale in '54-55), and although there is no more popular coach than Wilson and no more likeable players than his squad, it seems extremely unlikely that the Crimson will be able to rise higher than sixth...

Toward the end of his career, Schnabel himself rarely played anything but Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert and Brahms, but instead...
This year it was the "impressionistic" doorbell-ringer Samuel Lubell (TIME, Oct. 15), who climbed farthest out on the limb. While making no percentage predictions, he correctly forecast an Ike landslide and added that Ike would take all the big industrial states. Moreover he pinpointed the newest political trend: the breakup of the former Democratic majorities in the nation's big cities. But Gallup and Roper hit as close to perfection as anybody could reasonably expect. In their final forecasts, published just before Election Day, the Big Two had Ike landsliding with 59.5% (Gallup) and 60% (Roper). Actual...
