...Heaviest losers were the steelmakers. Bethlehem Steel, the nation's second largest producer, shaken by a 59% drop from last year's $33.9 million to this year's $13.9 million, chopped its quarterly dividend from 60? to 37½?. Jones & Laughlin's earnings melted from $10.1 million to $1.9 million while deficits were reported by Pittsburgh Steel ($814,000) 'and Kaiser Steel ($2.5 million). By contrast, steel's tough competitor, Aluminum Co. of America, increased its earnings 26% from $9.4 million to $11.8 million...
Moscow was reeling under the heaviest American cultural onslaught in its history. Within the space of only a few weeks, Bass Jerome Hines had launched a Russian tour from the stage of the Bolshoi, Igor Stravinsky had returned to his homeland, and George Balanchine had arrived with his New York City Ballet. Then, almost unheralded, the Robert Shaw Chorale turned up last week and outdid them all.

Back in 1945, the most visible of Mamma Gabor's three girls had tossed a tantrum in Manhattan's El Morocco nightclub, wound up spitting in Owner John Perona's face, and was banned forevermore from the zebra-striped benches. Now, a year after the proprietor's death, Son Edwin Perona listened to the importuning...
Only survivor was a movie camera that had photographed the same scenes, then descended safely to earth on a parachute. But for all the spectacular burnouts, the shot was not a failure. The great balloon, largest though not the heaviest man-made object ever to enter space, was intended to destroy itself without going into orbit. The shot was only a test to perfect the difficult art of inflating big balloons in vacuum. A similar attempt last winter failed when the balloon burst because of too much gas pressure (TIME, Jan. 26). Last week's success means that...
