...play has most force not for what Tom is branded with, but in portraying those who use the branding iron, in picturing a cruelly thoughtless pack in full cry after its quarry. If, despite being well told, the story seems factitious, it is less a matter of plausibility-Tea and Sympathy is far more "plausible" than, say, Othello-than of squeezing in as many sentimental and sensational elements as possible. This applies even to motivations, as with the lurking homosexuality in the blatantly masculine housemaster. At times it becomes as hard to imagine how popular drama ever got along without...
...their next visit to the mountain, the two pilots took along Geologist Stephen Melihercsik. When he saw the ore he caught the pilots' excitement. "What a beast!" he exclaimed. "Terrific!" It was iron and titanium ore. The three men formed a partnership, and over the next few weeks, bought 70 mining claims...
Pueblo's new pipe mill is the latest step in a program of expansion and modernization that in eight short years has converted Colorado Fuel & Iron Corp. from a doddering septuagenarian to one of the most vigorous companies in the U.S. steel industry. With $80 million already spent on expansion and modernization, C.F. & I. sales have soared from $56 million to an annual rate of $300 million (fiscal 1953 net: $8,000,000), and employment has more than doubled, to 22,200. The company has added so many new products-ranging from manhole covers to springs for cigarette lighters...
When Allen picked up Colorado Fuel & Iron control for about $20 million in 1944, he got something nobody else wanted. Founded in 1872 by Confederate Brigadier General William J. Palmer, the company prospered in steel and coal as the railroads snaked westward, was bought by the Rockefellers at the turn of the century. But under absentee ownership, C.F. & I. began to falter. Its mines and mills ran down, its labor relations deteriorated. The company became notorious for the famed Ludlow Massacre of 1914, in which 33 men, women and children were shot down by the state militia, most of them...
Promising Situation. While Franz was straightening out production, Allen built up C.F. & I.'s corporate structure. He bought a plate and pipe plant in the burgeoning Delaware Valley (TIME, June 8), a pig iron and iron ore company in Pennsylvania. Last year he bought Newark's 112-year-old John A. Roebling's Sons Co., primarily a maker of wire rope, and an engineering firm. These acquisitions not only gave C.F. & I. diversification, but also made it a well-integrated organization...
