Breaking Camp. In McCann, Calif., the Herbert Whitney family, whose stove and console were stolen in past years from their summer cabin, returned this year to find the entire cabin gone...
...years in the White House, Dwight Eisenhower has not only become a faithful daily newspaper reader (New York Times, New York Herald Tribune, Washington Post), but he has learned to read between the lines of inspired political stories as well. Thus, over the past few weeks, he began to feel that he was being pressured by inspired "leaks" about the future of Charles E. Bohlen, bright star State Department careerman of the Roosevelt and Truman administrations, longtime (1953-57) Ambassador to Russia, and since 1957 U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines.

In dismantling the tinny empire of Mussolini-the last of Libya's conquerors-the U.N. gave the ancient Libyan people their first real independence in 1951.

...than its competitors like to remember. And more often than not, its secret has been good actors, live performances. Last week it was June Havoc as Momma, Edward Andrews as Dad, and Jane Withers as Momma's sister, who put a lively kick into Pink Burro. In the past, Tallulah Bankhead, Ethel Merman, Maurice Evans, Helen Hayes and Julie Harris handled similar chores. No one on the Steel Hour sees any reason to search for a new formula. Even in the summer, when other shows are sneaking by with reruns, the Steel Hour will remain live, with lively casts...
