...Rope Dancers (by Morton Wishengrad) is that once-or-twice-a-season sort of play that is unsuccessful but "interesting." It introduces to Broadway a playwright who is almost struttingly grim, carrying larger-sized luggage than he can fill; but who seems altogether resolved to go his own way, even if he lose his way in the process. Laid in a turn-of-the-century Manhattan tenement, The Rope Dancers is a stubbornly harsh story of a lacerated family. Hard-working Margaret Hyland is a rigid, arrogant, unappeasably bitter woman with a lazy, feckless would-be writer of a husband...

The four-engine 720, whose existence was revealed only a few days before United announced its order, puts Boeing on the inside track in the brisk competition for further medium-range jet orders. It will carry 100 to 125 passengers (v. 120 to 150 for the larger DC-8) plus substantial cargo, will be used by United on runs ranging from 400 miles or less to the Chicago-West Coast...

Above all, the reformers intend that the party shall not go to the people again in 1961 with Erich Ollenhauer, a two-time loser, as its candidate for the chancellorship...
Buying together and separately, Patron Knox and Director Smith have preferred the-quick to the dead, have made some startling acquisitions. Examples: ¶ Composition in White (opposite), by Jean-Paul Riopelle, 34, one of Canada's two leading abstract painters. In Paris, where Riopelle now works, his larger canvases bring as high as $6,000. Working in intense bursts of creative activity (22 paintings last month) and laying on paint with meticulous palette-knife strokes, Riopelle is a moody painter. His Composition in White grew out of a trip to Austria. "The snowcapped Austrian mountains reminded me of Canada...
