...these slings Johnson bore in tight-lipped silence. Then, with little advance warning, he showed up last week as the only congressional leader at the A.F.L.-C.I.O. unemployment rally in Washington's armory (see The Economy), drew roars by roasting the Administration for rejecting "prudent proposals to expand the economy of our country." Back he went to the Senate to show what a man of action could do. He introduced a bill setting up an eleven-member, legislative-executive unemployment fact-finding commission. Scarcely three hours after the bill was hoppered. 68 Senators had stepped forward to cosponsor...
...hours, the back-to-workers whooped and hollered at predictably anti-Administration speeches from such Democrats as Texas' Senator Lyndon Johnson (who announced his plan for a legislative-executive commission on unemployment to report in 60 days) and Illinois' Senator Paul Douglas (President Eisenhower, "the kindly Kansan, has unwittingly become the captive of hard-faced men").

The Howard Johnson-run Nassau Beach Lodge opened in February; rushing to completion is Lyford Cay, a combination club-real estate development masterminded by international beer baron and financier Edward Plunket Taylor of Toronto. In 1955 Taylor paid $2,000,000 for 4,000 acres of underbrush 17 miles west of Nassau, making him the second biggest landowner on New Providence (after Eunice Lady Oakes and her children, heirs to the 7,000 acres of the late Sir Harry Oakes...
...highly individualistic as himself. The result was several of the buildings rated today as among the alltime greats of U.S. architecture. Among them: "Falling Water," in Bear Run, Pa., Wright's first reinforced-concrete house, in which he flung cantilevered floors dramatically out over the waterfall; the S.C. Johnson & Son Co.'s Racine, Wis. wax factory, with soaring mushroom columns in the work space and a 16-story laboratory tower completely sheathed in glass tubing...
