...over half a century has made the subconscious and irrational his ally, has turned out objects that profess to explain the metaphysics of the mustache, made eggs, string and shirt fronts serve the purpose of art. In so doing he has earned for himself a reputation as "a one-man laboratory for the discovery of new form." This week Man-hattan's Museum of Modern Art, celebrating its renovation after its near-disastrous fire (TIME, April 28), is giving 71-year-old Sculptor Arp a thoroughgoing retrospective show that includes 113 paste-ups, oils, string pictures, wood reliefs...
...one-man show here was a one-composer show, too. Bream served up on his delectable seven-course lute (made by London's renowned Thomas Goff) an appetizing baker's dozen of dance pieces and fantasias by England's greatest lute-composer and song-writer, John Dowland (properly pronounced Doh-land, contrary to almost universal practice...
...Golden, the disclosure came at a critical time. He was well on his way to becoming a national figure. Not only is his volume of pungent comment and reminiscence selling well, but the Carolina Israelite, his one-man, monthly-or-so newspaper (circ. 25,000), is so successful that even Southern neighbors chuckle at his wry, raucous gibes against segregation (TIME, April 1, 1957).

But from the results, one aim was obvious; the new team is meant to end the one-man executive direction that began with "Engine Charlie" Wilson. After him came another powerhouse, Red Curtice. The board of directors sometimes disagreed with Curtice, particularly over marketing and the hard sell. But Curtice usually won out because the board could hardly quibble with his results. Under him, G.M. logged its most profitable years, now has its largest share ever (54%) of the auto...
...because of an inherently bad short-haul route structure that gave Capital none of the rich transcontinental market. But his biggest trouble was with Capital's general counsel and biggest stockholder (64,420 shares), Charles Murchison, 58, who looked askance at the way Carmichael ran Capital as a one-man air show, wanted more of a team operation. Last summer Murchison and his backers brought in Major General David H. Baker as president and chief executive officer (TIME, Aug. 5), moved Slim Carmichael up to board chairman. With little real authority remaining, Airman Carmichael finally quit, saying only that...
