...Bench: Good Democrat Brennan was appointed (by Republican Governor Alfred Driscoll) to New Jersey Superior Court in 1949 (appellate and trial divisions), then in 1952 to the State Supreme Court. He is a protégé of New Jersey's leonine Chief Justice Arthur Vanderbilt (TIME, Feb. 21, 1955), is hardworking, respected by lawyers, who have often found themselves discomfited because Brennan "sometimes catches you off guard." His opinions are clear, thoughtful, moderate; his mind is quick and sharp. As chairman of a New Jersey committee on calendar control and pretrial conference procedure, he helped give the state...
...pilots and engineers at California's Edwards Air Force Base knew Captain Milburn G. Apt as a quietly amiable man who liked nothing better than puttering in his garden and playing with his kids. At 32, he had 3,500 hours' flying time, a good World War II combat record, and seven years of flight-test training to his credit. It was a record that a few weeks ago brought him one of the Air Force's top test assignments: a chance to pilot the world's fastest (an estimated 2,000 m.p.h.), highest-flying (almost...
...Chairman John Feikens hears the Republicans called the rich man's party, he wonders, forlornly, what country and what planet the Democrats are talking about.

Although nobody would take Marilyn seriously when she said a couple of years ago that she wanted to play Grushenka,*M-G-M said last week, "The part is hers, if she doesn't want half the studio...
...breakdowns, from the plane's mimeograph machine to the press bus, which left the newsmen on an Oregon roadside thumbing rides to the Portland airport. One unscheduled dash in Michigan sent the party on a breakneck 82-mile round-trip drive to the Mackinac Straits Bridge, which Governor G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams insisted on showing to Kefauver for the benefit of photographers. A padlock had to be broken before the candidate could get on the structure after nightfall-to greet a crowd of five workmen and one woman who had waited three hours for him. In the absence...
