...This year, Taylor is the man to beat. He leads all pro rushers with 934 yds. (Brown has only 561), is tied for fourth in scoring with 60 points, has averaged 6.1 yds. every time he carried the ball. Last week against the Chicago Bears, Taylor put on a one-man show that a Brown or a Hornung would be hard-pressed to match: he carried the ball 25 times, bulled for four touchdowns and 124 yds. The entire Chicago Bears backfield picked up only 65 yds. on the ground...
...Modernists. More than any other dealer, Betty Parsons is credited with bringing abstract art to its present status. She opened in 1946 with about 13 artists, including the even then venerable Hans Hofmann and Ad Reinhardt. She gave one-man shows to Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Clyfford Still and Barnett Newman. The public was either indifferent or hostile at first, but Betty Parsons got an unexpected boost her first year from a most unlikely source.

Last week the U.S. got its first good look in years at Sculptor Underwood's work...
Partisans of both sides of the argument have been stirred up once more by a National Aeronautics and Space Administration report on the two-man Gemini capsule, which will soon supersede the one-man Mercury. The Gemini, says the report, will return to many airplane practices; its crew will fly it as freely as possible. But though the Gemini will be 'flown" after a fashion, to control it effectively will call for highly scientific skills...
...immense wealth. A policeman's son, he made himself independently well-to-do in his 30s as a chemical manufacturer. He lived simply with his wife in a Rome hotel, drew expenses for his needs, donated his $30,400 salary to an orphanage. Without his intense one-man rule, E.N.I., which claims to be profitable but operates under a load of heavy debts, may well be in for difficult times...
