...such experience would be enough to tire the average light-heavyweight longshoreman, but Skelton does it-and needs it-night after night in clubs, week after week on television. While that feared acetylene torch called overexposure has singed, seared or crisped one comedian after another, Red Skelton's popularity has never really stopped growing. At 47 he is the only comedian left on TV who has, year in and year out, sustained a live weekly program, and this week The Red Skelton Show (CBS) begins its seventh season, during which he will also do two specials...
...part of Fairchild Camera's magic lies in the man who lent it-and several other companies-his name: Sherman Mills Fairchild, 64. Fairchild talks about his present and future products with all the excitement of a 20-year-old with his first sports car.

Converting Iraq into a satellite poses a serious economic problem: though the West could get along without Iraqi oil, Iraq could scarcely get along without Western markets for its oil unless Russia were prepared to buy it-and Russia has no real use for it. Yet should Moscow, because of these political and economic difficulties, order the Iraqi Communists to stop short of an all-out takeover, there is danger that the volatile Iraqi mob, which loves nothing so much as a winner, would begin to turn away from its Red heroes just as it has turned away from Nasser...
