...Tufts cast deserves real credit for its performance. Uncoordinated until now, it clicks crisply; and the machinery of America, moving slowly at first, warms and speeds up as the play progresses. The play's farrago of dramatic styles, songs, dances and persons is difficult to harmonize, but the loosely knit structure of the play is bound into a tightly cohesive knot, creating a final fluidity. Leads and choruses maintain the spritely and varying rhythms of American life throughout. The same persons flying-shuttled in and out of different roles, weaving the loom of America. Robert Dargie as Uncle...
Triple Crown? At week's end Wrist-hitter Aaron, a well-knit (5 ft. 11 in., 170 Ibs.), easy-moving man of 23, led the National League in batting with a .352 average. He also led the league in home runs (29) and in runs batted in (78). Though temporarily out of the lineup with a gimpy left ankle, he has a solid chance of becoming the first National Leaguer to win clear title to these three championships since Philadelphia's Chuck Klein turned the trick in 1933 at the age of 27. But for the life...
...company following his graduation from Dartmouth has held every post from sales clerk to basement-store manager. Like his son, chunky Fred Lazarus ("retailing is our life") also worked up from the basement. He became Federated's No. 1 man in 1945, transformed the corporation from a loosely knit cross-ownership of stock to a solid chain and trebled its sales by buying new stores. He will continue as top man, has no plans to retire, hopes this year to guide Federated to the U.S. department-store sales lead over front-running Allied Stores Corp...
Like every other chief of state in Southeast Asia. South Viet Nam's President Ngo Dinh Diem was disturbed by the disproportionate economic influence wielded by his country's closely knit 1,000,000 "overseas Chinese."* In South Viet Nam 75% of the country's rice and corn trade is Chinese-controlled, and Chinese entrepreneurs dominate much of the nation's export-import trade, banking and shopkeeping. President Diem felt that Chinese who lived and worked in South Viet Nam should become Vietnamese citizens. The Chinese, respectable, law-abiding, but ever prideful of their heritage, disagreed...
Echoing Krag's fears. Belgium's Paul-Henri Spaak flatly warned that the British proposal would not be permitted to delay "even for a single day" establishment of the six-nation* Common Market, which will constitute a tightly knit "little Europe'' within the larger Free Trade Area. The difference between the two is that Britain, for example, agrees to reduce its tariff barriers with the Six at the same rate as the Six reduce them with one another, but Britain would retain control over its own tariffs in trade with other nations. If all goes...
