...meeting labor's dilemma, the driving force must come from labor itself. All the governmental paternalism in the world cannot solve labor's basic problems-but the Government can certainly urge and encourage, and Arthur Goldberg seems ready, willing and able. Goldberg is far from being the handsomest man on the New Frontier, yet he is compellingly attractive when he talks-and he loves to talk. ("He can," says an admiring Labor Department aide, "talk for two hours on one hour's briefing.") Goldberg's energy seems inexhaustible, and his personal qualifications are beyond question. Says...
Studebaker-Packard. Under ambitious new President Sherwood H. Egbert (TIME. April 21). S.P. has brought out its handsomest cars in several years. To overcome their sawed-off look, the Lark and Lark Cruiser are as much as 13 inches longer than last year's models, and have been adorned with an upright grille similar to that of the Mercedes Benz (which S.P. markets in the U.S.).

Throughout the long evening she demonstrated again her remarkable ability to compel an audience to belief through sheer beauty of tone; from the rage of Act I's Or sal chi I'onore to the tenderness of the second act's Non mi dir, she moved securely and with absolute conviction. Her two great arias stopped the opera cold...
...While playing with the Birmingham Repertory Company in the 1920s, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, now 68, gave Britain some of its finest theatrical hours, earned the especial esteem of the creator of many of his most challenging roles. Recalls Hardwicke in his memoirs, A Victorian in Orbit: "Probably the handsomest compliment ever paid me was delivered by Bernard Shaw. 'You are,' he said, 'my fifth favorite actor, the first four being the Marx Brothers.' " Knighted in 1934, Hardwicke well remembers the occasion. King George V could not quite catch the actor's name, finally gave...
