Communist Hunters. Irked by the government's seeming inability to curb the protesters, rightist vigilante groups have taken on the task. Roman Catholic laymen have formed a "society for the defense of tradition, family and property" and collected 1.5 million signatures on a petition to Pope Paul warning against leftist infiltration among Brazilian priests. One group, calling itself the "Communist-Hunting Command" has fanned across the nation. The vigilantes have invaded even the theater, most of whose producers and actors sympathize with the left. In the midst of one performance of the theater-of-violence satire Roda Viva...
...attempt to portray it has inevitably paled before the fact. Nonetheless, since war's end, some 50 U.S. local and national Jew ish organizations have been searching continually for sculptors or architects to design a suitable monument. Finally, three years ago, a formal Committee to Commemorate the Six Million Jewish Martyrs was set up. The art advisory committee, under the chairmanship of Washington Insuranceman-Collector David Lloyd Kreeger, had no difficulty in agreeing on Philadelphia Architect Louis I. Kahn.

If it goes through, the acquisition of the $721.7 million-a-year paper company would put RCA, the 27th largest U.S. firm, as recently as four years ago, within striking distance...
Master's Voice. RCA continues to display the technological prowess that characterized its earlier years. The company dominates the color-TV market, largely because of a $150 million investment back in the 1950s in a color system that has since been adopted throughout the U.S. An equally ambitious venture in the computer field, notably the company's Spectra 70 series, looks like a winner after a shaky start. NBC meanwhile, goes on setting one new sales record after another-even though it still ranks slightly behind CBS in the TV viewer ratings...
