Racket Ruckus. Every member of Arkansas' John McClellan's Senate labor-rackets investigating committee is fervently against labor rackets, but some members are beginning to raise a private eyebrow at the way Committee Counsel Robert Kennedy, 32, runs the show. "The Senators," says a Republican member of the committee, "don't have the slightest idea who is to be called, but we can read the witness lists in the newspapers.

"Debbie was very much hurt at first," said Elizabeth Taylor, out of the wisdom that comes from many a wilted romance. "I think the hurt has now left, and that she will consent to Eddie getting a divorce here." Having reassured both herself and her public, Liz left for her $500-a-week quarters at the Hidden Well...
...became editor and publisher. A descendant of Charles and Michael de Young, teen-age brothers who founded the Chronicle in 1865 on a borrowed $20 gold piece, Thieriot gave the job of blowing a fresh breeze through the Chronicle's fogbound pages to suave Scott Newhall, also a member of a leading San Francisco family. As executive editor, Newhall scrapped the Chronicle's old makeup of sober type marching row on row for a blaze of bold, black headlines, launched syndicated Lovelornist Abigail Van Buren (TIME, Jan. 20, 1957), assembled a cast of 20 home-town columnists.
