...only one of the many surprises tucked behind the granite-sheathed fagade of Manhattan's new Whitney Museum of American Art. Even in a time that has seen museum design change from the Roman palazzos favored by turn-of-the-century architects to the spiraling extravaganza of Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim, and Mies van der Rohe's austere glass cube for Houston's Museum of Fine Arts, the $6,000,000 Whitney, designed by Marcel Breuer and Hamilton Smith, was the event and talk of the evening...
...film script turns the story into a cliche-stocked, ho-humdrum thriller about a TV star (Stuart Whitman) who murders his rich-bitch wife (Eleanor Parker) in Reel Two, and for the next 80 minutes is dogged doomward by the police (Barry Sullivan), his wife's father (Lloyd Nolan), a former mistress (Janet Leigh), and his own conscience.

In 1934 he introduced the idea of a bank issuing a letter of credit for individual auto buyers. (He recently recalled: "I said to myself, Good God, if I can do this for International...
...years later a five-to-four majority upheld the conviction of Lloyd Barenblatt, former instructor at Vasser who refused on first amendment grounds to answer questions about alleged Communist affiliations. Aside from the technical point which the Court had cited in the Watkins case, Barenblatt's suit was fundamentally the same. Thus Congress was reassured that the Watkins decision represented no broad judicial opinion on HUAC proceedings, and a confrontation between the two branches was avoided...
