Kuljian Corp. of India is the product of a one-man foreign aid program conceived by fatherly Harry Asdour Kuljian, 67, the Armenian-born founder of Kuljian Corp. of Philadelphia, a small but highly successful consulting engineering firm. Since 1930 Kuljian has handled construction jobs-mostly in the power-generating field-all over the world. By first-hand observation, he became convinced that to give U.S. aid money to underdeveloped nations to establish state-owned enterprises was both wasteful and a threat to free enterprise. The right way to help a nation industrialize, Kuljian decided, was through "a hand...
Scrounging Hell. The reader meets Gorer in London shortly before World War II on the night that he seduces Cassy Beaumont, which is the night that his unsuccessful one-man show closes. The teen-age daughter of an English father and a West Indian mother, Cassy is so pleased with the quasi rape and the beating that Gorer gives her afterward that she soon moves in with him. Their life together is the scrounging, violent hell without which she would have been disappointed. And Gorer keeps on painting, and cursing and talking-lewdly, sharply, wisely-and grabbing any woman...
...throaty baritone undresses every noun, verb and parenthetical clause that comes slithering past his lips. With hips cocked, eyes squinted against some inner sunburst of passion, and hands expressively molding the air, Montand is one of the most potent love potions ever poured across the footlights.

...Exhibition of Contemporary Painting and Sculpture opened at the Carnegie Institute last week, it put on display 329 paintings and 116 sculptures by 441 artists from 29 countries. Most of the work was abstract, with each abstractionist striving for some idiom of his own. This striving, which in a one-man show often makes each work seem like every other, has the opposite effect in a group show like the Carnegie's. There the effect is not of monotony but of sense-assaulting variety...
...left or his right. Says Coach Frank Camp, whose tough University of Louisville team was whipped, 28-13, by Memphis State: "Wright killed us with those roll-out passes to his left." Fortnight ago, while the Tigers clawed previously unbeaten Mississippi Southern, 21-7, Wright put on a sparkling one-man show. He personally directed all three scoring drives, bucked for one touchdown himself, and gained an average of 5.8 yds. every time he carried the ball. By last week, Quarterback Wright had run up a total of 787 yds. rushing and passing, led the nation in total offense. Said...
