...Cabinet was all of one sex. When Miss Perkins looked over her own office in the new building she found it satisfactory. Opening a door she stepped happily into an adjoining bathroom with full-length mirrors, frosted window panes, a shower stall with seven needle sprays and pastel-tinted tile. Then with consternation she noted that there was another door to her bathroom. She opened it and found it led into the future office of her Solicitor General, Charles E. Wyzanski Jr. Officially Mr. Wyzanski is her right-hand man, her invaluable aide who accompanies her on many...

...Digger Campbell went ahead to unearth greater treasures: a Greek theatre with an 80-ft. stage which inscriptions indicated was built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian, a life-size alabaster statue, probably of Hadrian, and a villa with remarkable mosaic floors.

...display in the Coney Island yards of Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corp. last week was the first high-speed aluminum train to be tried on New York City's vast subway system. At leather seats, indirect lighting, pastel color schemes, chimes for sliding doors, subway sardines gaped in astonishment. But a modern subway train was not the only BMT exhibit of the week.

...Waldo Miner, the Museum's Curator of Living Invertebrates, joins him, once took an under water cinema of him at work (see cut). There was no special realism about the Olsen submarinescapes last week to indicate they were actually done under water. Coral Outpost was a pastel blue-green, showed a film of sunlight filtering down to brownish mushroom coral, three pink, blue and yellow Yellow-Tail fish.
