THIS week TIME presents the first ' cover in its history in which the logotype-the word TIME-has been printed in more than one color. Until late 1952 (Dec. 18), the word TIME was always printed in black. That week, because the background (an inky sky for a space design) was black, the letters were printed in white. Since then the logotype has been printed at times in red, blue or yellow. This week's four-color TIME was conceived by Cover Artist Aaron Bohrod, who made the logotype an integral part of the cover painting, and hung...
...bill "on the Speaker's desk," and thus ready for floor action under special committee-bypassing rules, despite insistent protests of the National Association of Manufacturers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that the bill ought to go through the normal committee channel. If sent to committee so late in the session, the bill would die there, and that is just what the N.A.M. and the Chamber want. Reason: they object to half a dozen minor Taft-Hartley revisions, e.g., requiring employers to report to the Labor Department all financial dealings with labor unions or labor officials...
...Creative Artist, Morris had several alternatives: one, to adopt and adjust to the new standards; two, to change the old ones; or three, to protest. Since the first two were impossible for Morris, he started shouting (discreetly, late in the night, at a typewriter). Morris was one with Thomas Wolfe, Eugene O'Neill, and all the other neurotics who never really adjusted to Harvard, as contrasted with James Gould Cozzens, Eliot, Edward Arlington Robinson, and George Santayana--the crew of the Cambridge chambered nautilus, the Brattle Street spiritus mundi...

First female recipient of the Grand Cross of the British Empire (conferred on her in 1922 for war work), Lady Curzon was a significant arc in titled circles, an owner of race horses whose brown and pink colors were once familiar at Ascot and Newmarket, and a friend of Lady Randolph Churchill...
With his smartly clipped beard, fawn-colored trousers and "killing cravat," Littlefield was a kind of one-man giveaway show. As one admirer put it: "With money he was as free as water, and when he had no money was just as free with checks." All through the late 1860s, he had the money, shelled out as much as $241,000 at a session to get the legislation he and his associates wanted. Eventually, the Swepson-Littlefield interests floated their own bonds for railroad lines they never built. They snapped up land at distress sales, bought state-owned cotton...
