...tripled his fortune since he went to Europe, has settled his $700,000 tax debt to the U.S. Government for $425,000 cash. He gets 75% of his income outside the U.S. market and netted $3,000,000 for 1952's Limelight, not counting U.S. royalties. Royalties roll in steadily from his old films, most of which he owns outright. Like many foreign stars living in Switzerland, he pays the Swiss government a flat and fairly nominal yearly sum, and no additional income taxes.

Well aware of his role, he cultivates the deep, composed voice that, to a tense world last week, suggested that the nation's first attempt at manned orbit was no more critical than a takeoff from Idlewild. "I must not raise my voice," says Shorty Powers. "I must give the people an objective report without any display of emotion. Millions will be hanging on my every word.'' As a matter...
Because it holds a double limelight of academic prestige and well-publicized contact with Washington, Harvard faces serious temptation, and perhaps pressure, to accept the government's line that everyone should build shelters. It can make the current investigation just a study of costs and convenient locations, concluding with some construction and an announcement that Harvard is the first university to give its members safety...
