Martin's ever-present highball glass reinforces the general impression that he appears on-camera half gassed. But, as his bartender and his best friends know, Dean Martin is no more an out-of-control toper than Jack Benny is a 39-year-old tightwad. Dino on-camera affects a skinful for the same reason that Jack affects the skinflint. Martin's matchless comic timing, the testimony of his neighbors on Beverly Hills' Mountain Drive, his easy coping with a fast-moving life, all suggest a man who uses booze rather than letting...
Today's buildings often present sleek, bland exteriors which give the impression that about all that could be going on inside is the manufacture of ice cubes. In the hands of a master such as Chicago's Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (TIME, Feb. 11), glass-and-steel space containers can be very high style indeed, but too often the result is anonymity and monotony. To work their way out of this impasse, some architects now think that they have found the solution right in the heart of the building itself. They are designing buildings that 1) make...
Intimate Secrets. Mystery remained. When optical astronomers turned their huge glass eyes on some of the areas of sky manned by radio astronomers as sources of powerful emissions, they found only assortments of faint, nondescript stars. Then, in 1960, aided by pinpoint data supplied by Cambridge University's radio astronomers, and Caltech's Owens Valley Observatory, Caltech astronomers discovered that one stream of powerful signals was coming from what appeared to be a small, faint star. During the next few years, as radio telescopes continued to supply increasingly precise data, the California astronomers discovered three more faint, mysterious...
...chance. Says he: "I assume that our society has sensed this unpredictability. Look at the number of insurance com panies." In the future, he hopes to get his messages across more directly by making his audience an active part of his art. He plans to use more under-glass movies, to script mechanical happenings. "The idea is not to make man into a robot," he says, "but to make him feel free in a world of machines...
Management is now in the hands of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Carter, 45, a rough 250-pounder who proclaimed shortly after taking over: "I know how to handle a sick company." Carter was lured from a Corning Glass vice-presidency nine years ago with a stock option offer of 23,800 shares (he now owns 52,250 shares worth almost $11 million). Sherman Fairchild withdrew discreetly to the board, has been more concerned with his chairmanship of the completely separate Fairchild Hiller aerospace firm, which recently bought Republic Aviation...
