...Cowles family picked tough ground for missionary work. In tradition, at least, the nation's heartland has long been indifferent to foreign news, except in time of war. Buzzing gadflies in this calm atmosphere, the Cowles papers go far beyond filling their front pages with stories on international affairs from their hardworking five-man Washington bureau headed by Dick Wilson, 53. Their editorial pages take positions that are unusual for the Midwest and downright surprising for Republican publishers: they have damned the policies of Dwight Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles, praised Dean Acheson, bemoaned Chiang Kai-shek (a "lonely...
...Leroy Anderson's brassy musical Goldilocks. Four days later, in a sweatshirt, he was hovering over the orchestra that accompanied Rosalind Russell and cast in a two-hour production of Wonderful Town (see SHOW BUSINESS). The determined gadabout: Broadway Composer-Conductor Lehman Engel, 48, one of the nation's busiest and most versatile men-about-music...
...invitation of Leopold Stokowski. His talent for developing orchestras, which even exceeded his art as a conductor, brought prestigious results in Los Angeles, Cleveland and New York, where Rodzinski took over the listless Philharmonic in 1943. Considering himself hamstrung by management, he stormily quit the nation's top orchestral job four years later, went to Chicago, where, after a year of feuds with management, he was fired.

...first time in history, two of the nation's four biggest airlines were downed by strikes-and a third was losing altitude fast. At Eastern Air Lines, 5,383 members of the International Association of Machinists walked out, along with 550 Eastern flight engineers. The Eastern strike and the walkout of machinists at Trans World Airlines (TIME, Dec. 1) shut down close to one-third of the nation's air transport system; 388 planes were grounded, and the 32,000 passengers they normally carry each day had to scramble to find other transportation. To make matters worse...
With an added push from the nation's No. 4 pop song, American Motors' "little Nash Rambler" was in high gear last week and setting new records. November production hit a new high of 26,782 cars. For the first two months of its fiscal year (October and November), Rambler almost doubled its last year's production. It accounted for 9.2% of U.S. auto sales in October and is still pushing up speed. Rambler's freewheeling President George Romney scheduled 34,000 cars for December and 32,000 for January. He not only expects to sell...
