Said he last week: "We will roll up our sleeves and do a damned good job." The peso promptly firmed to 9.2 to the dollar. One of the Nationals elected to Uruguay's nine-man ruling National Council of Government, Nardone will get his chance to serve as its chairman, which is equivalent to being President. But doughty old Luis Alberto de Herrera, after spending all his life trying to win the government for the Nationals, will not preside over the government. As one of the three minority members of the current council ruling Uruguay in place...
Charging "extreme cruelty," Cinemactress Debbie Reynolds filed suit for divorce from Crooner Eddie Fisher after three years, two months of another Hollywood "ideal marriage," asked for "reasonable and substantial support and maintenance" and custody of the two little Fishers, Carrie, 2, and Todd, nine months. Hours later, Eddie shared champagne and caviar at a Beverly Hills bistro with the cause of it all, Cinemactress Elizabeth Taylor ("I'm alive") Todd...
Division of Labor. At the Red Scarf factory, students work according to a "rational division of labor." Children seven to nine years old, the party press notes, generally like to collect nails and bits of wood and carry them in their pockets. This interest is channeled "into the field of significant labor activity" by sending the children outside the factory for two hours each day "to pick iron, scraps, dig and sift ore, gather wood and collect broken bits of earthenware."

Abstractions swept nine out of ten prizes (the tenth was a semi-abstract Henry Moore) and, as the New York Times's Critic Howard Devree dourly noted, every prize "may be called in question." Due for especially earnest questioning was the $3,000 top winner in painting: Antoni Tapies' mysteriously simple grey...
...time to add up all the statistics of his new domain. With a women-and-children-first editorial policy. Amalgamated peddles everything from Baby's Own Annual to Love Story Library, puts out 29 weeklies, e.g., prim, prosperous Woman's Weekly (circ. 1,615, 778), and nine monthlies. Like the Mirror-Pictorial, Amalgamated has its assorted paper mills and TV stations. King already had Britain's strongest newspaper chain anchored firmly by London's raucous Daily Mirror (circ. 4,526,453) and the equally raucous Sunday Pictorial (circ. 5,378,242). King's anticipated post...
