...Showcase, created enough pleasure last week to pose a question: Why doesn't it happen more often? For roughly $200,000, the price of four half-hour variety shows, Impresario Sol Hurok put some of music's brightest stars into dazzling constellation. The camera let the viewer hover over the fingers of Guitarist Andres Segovia and Pianist Artur Rubinstein, linger in closeup on the intense face of Marian Anderson, share the lilt of Verdi's La Traviata with Victoria de los Angeles, stand amid the powerful climax of Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov, superbly acted and sung...
...technical failures ran neck and neck with human errors. NBC's Chet Huntley. caught with his mike open, was overheard asking for a cup of coffee, later introduced Herbert Hoover Jr. as "Hoobert Hover"; Daly referred to "the late Senator John Sherman Cooper" (who later rose to address the convention); Elmer Peterson (NBC) reported: "Now the President's plane is landing at Los Angeles' International Airport...

...Congress to authorize his favorite atomic project, the nuclear-powered "peace ship," which "will carry the message of Atoms-for-Peace to the ports of the world." On direct military aid to the allies, Ike plans to hold steady at the spending rate of $2.5 billion. Economic aid will hover near $1.7 billion, but the President wants Congress also to appropriate $1.8 billion to apply against long-range foreign-aid commitments-a project that already has drawn the ire of Georgia's Walter George, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and of California's Bill Knowland, Senate...
