...defending the training program against the label of Universal Military Training, Defense Department spokesmen exposed a more dangerous flaw in the proposed system. "UMT would permit youths to discharge their military obligations quickly" declared Assistant Secretary of Defense Chester Burgess, author of the bill. "The Administration program imposes lengthy military obligations on the reserve men, just as on draftees for the regular army." By requiring nine and a half years of weekly drill and summer camps from the reservists, and six years of the same training from men who have completed two years of active duty, the Administration bill saddles...
...Personal Label. They had reason to expect fireworks. After the riotous premiere of The Plough, O'Casey crossed the Irish Sea to settle in England, and since then a lot of damns have flowed over the water. He has tilted with eloquence and venom at many an Irish figure and foible in his plays and in the massive six-volume autobiography poured out over the past 15 years (TIME, Nov. 15). Ireland banned four of the volumes, but the Irish theater knows no censorship. Arch-Individualist O'Casey was free last week to speak his unconventional piece from...
Still stubborn and starry-eyed at 75, O'Casey refuses to give up a personal label merely because an international political conspiracy has discredited it. "I am a Communist," he told a TIME correspondent last week, and added: "They're bloody fools, these Communists. Always looking to Russia. They're too rigid. They drive me mad.

A constant target has been Doxie Moore, 43, a Legionnaire and onetime professional basketball player, coach and supervisor of officials for the National Basketball Association, who is now Craig's loyal, hardhitting administrative assistant. Critics have hung a label on Moore: "Double-Dribble Doxie." As if to accommodate them, Doxie at times double-dribbles. A fortnight ago, without consulting Craig, he sent out a flurry of telegrams, over the governor's name, taking the wrong side on the President's world trade program. Complained Doxie later...
...years), its attics become loaded with faded treasures. Victor saw no sense in letting them turn to dust; on the other hand, it had to use discretion, or some old relatives and friends might be offended. Result: two record series on the company's low-priced Camden label, with none of the famed performers identified. The records are dubbings from Victor's pre-LP catalogue, with their dark-hued old sounds partly hi-fizzed through electronic tinkering. The first series contains all of Tchaikovsky's six Symphonies performed by such fictitiously named orchestras as "Centennial," "Warwick," "Cromwell...
