...record industry, which is not finding the livin' in the singles market easy, hopes to ease some of its pain this summer with massive LP infusions of George Gershwin, massively publicized by a full throated chorus of movie and record company pressagents. With Samuel Goldwyn's Porgy and Bess about to be released, the record makers have pressed nearly 30 Porgy albums, ranging in style from Overstuffed Country Club to Tubular Cool. Columbia has issued excerpts from the sound track with Cab Calloway dubbed in as Sportin' Life in place of Sammy Davis Jr., who sings...
...London press wallowed in the courtroom spectacles: 6½ columns a day in the Daily Telegraph, up to three full columns in the sobersided Times. Basking in the limelight, Liberace, who first came to court in an uncharacteristically quiet blue suit, changed to a costume featuring an exuberant bronze Shantung suit, gold-buckled crocodile shoes and piano-shaped diamond and onyx cuff links.

The mellifluous pronouncer ("I give full value to each of the diacritical markings in Webster") was so overcome that he nearly left the stage himself...
...them poor and obscure at the start, have snapped some 100 LIFE covers in all. At one time nine Bachians were on the staff of LIFE (Bob Landry, John Florea, Mark Kauffman, George Strock, Hank Walker, John Dominis, Peter Stackpole, Harold Trudeau, John Wilkes). West Coast newspapers are full of Bach alumni; others are aiming the nation's TV and newsreel cameras. In World War II, 146 were combat cameramen, and four died in action. What Harvard's George Lyman Kittredge was to Shakespeare, Fremont High's spry, spectacled Clarence Bach is to news photography...
