...Program. For all its popularity, Playbill is faced with occupational hazards that no other periodical has to cope with. Although it grosses $1,500,000 annually in ad revenues, its net profit is chronically so low (about $40,000 after taxes this year) that it can afford only a one-man editorial staff: Editor Charles L. Mee Jr., 24, Guest contributors - Producer David Merrick, Playwright Emlyn Williams, Gossip Columnist Leonard Lyons -are paid nothing at all, or honorariums so embarrassingly low that Playbill chooses to keep the amounts a secret...
...understudy played a one-night stand. Come on Strong, Garson Kanin's nonplay about how to succeed by really sleeping around, posted a closing notice, then rescinded it, and is apparently hanging on by comely Carroll Baker's sliding shoulder straps. Manhattan's Seventh Avenue has been pilfered, as it is a couple of times a season, for a spotty cloak-and-suit comedy called Seidman and Son that is full of decent sentiments and indecent sentimentality. A play it isn't, but thanks to Sam Levene, that endearingly amusing one-man encyclopedia of Jewish gesticulation...
William Oscar Saunders was in the old tradition: a personal journalist, a high-horsed crusader, a one-man crowd. For 30 years, as editor-publisher of a rural North Carolina weekly, he unremittingly fought graft, corruption, red-neck segregationists, pharisees of all kinds-and some 60 libel suits.

The Elizabeth City Independent, which Saunders launched in 1908 on a borrowed...
...legislature for his deep-lunged, shattering oratory, Big John (6 ft. 3 in., 225 Ibs. ) quit his job as a power-company executive to stump the state. He encouraged Powell's overconfidence by starting his drive in low key. then blistered Powell in the final weeks for his "one-man rule," his "personal machine" and his "negative thinking." He claimed that Powell had short-changed education, but had spent "$30.000 to change the color of the state troopers' pants." He scoffed at ";this curious illness that keeps him on the golf course 36 holes a day." Pillsbury...
...flight of Russia's space twins. Fortnight ago, it was Senator Byrd's family tree. Week after week, Robert M. Chapin Jr. seeks vivid new pictorial ways to illustrate the news. He has been doing it for 25 years for TIME. Beginning as a one-man operation, Chapin now has a staff of six, including Artists Vincent Puglisi and Jere Donovan, to turn out an average of six to eight maps, charts, drawings and diagrams weekly. A few years back, Walter W. Ristow of the Library of Congress declared that "Chapin maps have established a pattern and style...
