...explanation might be that Trujillo was simply reminding Rubi that the Benefactor is still the one & only boss. Any public official under Trujillo may suffer an occasional, penitential spell of unemployment; Rubi's turn has obviously come. For a while, he will have to get along without the magic diplomatic passport, will have to let the customs officers of New York, Cherbourg and other way stations muss his socks and shirts. Then, his cafe-society pals confidently believe, he will be restored to diplomacy and the work for which he is so well fitted...
Prizewinner Venturi, 35, a specialist in murals, submitted a plan for a "magic quadrangle"-a court enclosed by a wall of varying heights on which would be colored mosaics representing scenes and characters from the Pinocchio story. Sicilian-born Sculptor Greco's entry was a tall semi-abstraction showing the Good Fairy pulling Pinocchio from a tree trunk with a great bird hovering above them.

There are Moslems and pagans, Dinkas, Bongos, Niam-Niams...
Hollywood TVmen are inclined to look askance at Director Albert McCleery when he says, with deep conviction: "Television is only for those who believe in it like a religion . . . It is the dream of mankind, the magic box that will bring man the world." Unlike many other TV boosters, ex-Paratrooper McCleery backs up his big words with ambitious actions. On his Hall of Fame (Sun. 5 p.m., NBC-TV), he has staged shows ranging from the two-hour Maurice Evans Hamlet to an hour-long excerpt from Thomas Wolfe's gargantuan, garrulous novel, Of Time and the River...
