...tossed out of the Musicians' Union for missing concerts, and though quickly reinstated, "I went on drugs because I was deeply hurt. I had been a good union man." After a last concert at Manhattan's Lewisohn Stadium in July 1953, Levant packed off to a Pasadena sanitarium. In 1956 he managed to last 18 weeks on a Los Angeles KNXT show, Words About Music, then got a reprimand for making anti-Nixon quips and quit in disgust. Last February, after more than a year in four sanitariums, he got a call from KCOP (co-owned by Bing...
...short order, Stone found himself flooded with clients eager to try his new romantic modern architecture. In the Stuart Co. building in Pasadena, Calif. (TIME, Jan. 20), Stone tried his grille as a solution to Southern California's climate, turned out a pill factory with such Tiffany & Co. glitter that one leading California architect said: "This building records all the gains of modern architecture and yet remains a romantic building."

...Dogs, New Tricks. Heart and brain operations on pets are still uncommon, mainly because they command such high fees. But in Pasadena, Dr. Robert H. Pudenz has successfully removed several brain tumors, both malignant and benign, from dogs and cats. A Florida vet has removed worms from a dog's pulmonary artery with the animal under hypothermia. A dog has no appendix, so is spared the need for an appendectomy, but he has a human-type caecum (a dead-end pouch at a turn in the intestines), which is the favorite hideaway of the whipworm. Vermifuges often cannot reach...
...used-and-new Dodge. Pontiac and Plymouth car lots in Compton. Pasadena, Long Beach and Hollywood, Caruso refined cheating, double-dealing and intimidation into such a formalized art that he actually conducted regular classroom sessions to teach his salesmen (nine of whom got lighter sentences) how to go about it. Salesmen were instructed to get customers to sign blank contracts, later cut the trade-in allowance and raise the new car price they wrote in on the contract. They were taught to spout figures at a torrential rate to confuse the buyer, and to never put a deal in writing...
