...newspaper recently tipped its readers off to the fact that the fastest-rising U.S. teen-age singing star is in reality a 32-year-old midget. U.S. editors prefer to accept the claims of her pressagent that Songstress Brenda Lee is barely 16 years old and that her growth pattern is entirely normal (she now stands 4 ft. 11½| in.).

Whether success will spoil off-Broadway or not, the downtown stage has seemingly relinquished its role of presenting experimental and original theater, and seems to be settling for a rehash of old material, plus a scattering of pseudo avant-garde plays.

...they connect one telephone with another in a few millionths of a second. Electronic "eyes and ears," called scanners, spring into action the instant a phone is taken off the hook, activating a photographic memory brain that contains more than 2,000,000 bits of information in a coded pattern of black and white dots. The computer is so intelligent that it constantly checks its own circuits, makes some repairs itself. When it can't make the correction, the brain wisely teletypes for help from human custodians, reporting the location of the trouble spot, the month, day, hour...
