...itself-where Herbert Hoover watched the first television demonstration, Jascha Heifetz recorded on one of the first "primitive" hi-fi systems, and Sam Warner made the first "talkie"-is peculiarly suitable, with its 10-ft. to 16-ft. ceilings, a cafeteria and an auditorium, all features that Architect Richard Meier hopes to preserve in the ren ovation. Tenants, to be screened by a citizens' committee, will be able to rent units at approximately $110 a month...
...Berlin's Borsig machine-tool factory to use the company's huge cutting and welding facilities, they were met with scorn.

Last week it moved still closer. Long concentrated in the Midwest and West, May moved into the populous Northeast for the first time by buying, for $41 million, Hartford's 118-year...
Died. Arthur Meier Schlesinger Sr., 77, longtime (1924-54) Harvard history professor and father of New Frontiersman Arthur Jr., a specialist in American life who passed up the hurly-burly of active government except for a World War II stint on the Commission on Freedom of the Press, preferring instead to remain in Cambridge, pioneering in what is now known as social history with such highly regarded studies as 1925's Political and Social History of the United States; after a brief illness; in Roxbury, Mass...
