...appeared overconfident. "Our audiences will be assured many additional hours of great entertainment to complement the regular schedule," boasted the network. But what TV chains have apparently overlooked is that some of the "great" oldtimers may not look so shiny today. Last week's big TV movie, Top Hat, for example, did not look as good as it did in its heyday (1935). The Irving Berlin-Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers combo was still sprightly, but technically Top Hat showed...
...Hat in Hand. In its manipulation of these controls, has the Fed clamped down too hard on credit? Most bankers say that companies with solid earnings records and established lines of credit will have no difficulty raising money (though at a higher price) for productive uses, e.g., to expand plants, construct office buildings, etc. Ford Motor Co., for example, raised $250 million for plant expansion last month, but had to pay 4% for the 20-year loan.

She spoke repeatedly of her concern for a better world, a better America, and a Democratic Party in which the old, e.g., herself and Harry Truman, must make way for the young, i.e., Adlai Stevenson. "My husband," said she meaningfully...
...incessant damnation of the New Deal," have finally "swallowed it, or most of it, and it looks as though they could keep it down at least until after election." What, if elected, would Stevenson do? He seemed to be of two minds, one of them wearing an oldtime hat. Under his leadership there would be stronger labor unions and more federal support for farmers, small businesses, power and water development...
