Caviar and champagne at the $35.28-a-plate Coronation Ball in London's Savoy Hotel revived two of President Eisenhower's four official U.S. representatives after the long ceremony at Westminster Abbey. Turned out in gold-braided full-dress uniform, General of the Army Omar Bradley launched into an enthusiastic off-beat rumba with Editor Fleur (Look) Cowles, whose diamond tiara was as grand as anything worn by a peeress...
...Chicago one day last week. White Sox Pitcher Billy Pierce, a lefthander, stared moodily down the 60-ft. stretch between the mound and home plate and faced a special problem. At the plate stood a corn-haired youngster just four years out of an Oklahoma high school, with NEW YORK spelled out in block letters on his flannel shirt, a big numeral 7 on his back.

But it is still fairly common to see a day laborer broiling his lunch-a thick, juicy steak the size of a dinner plate-over a fire in his wheelbarrow. After two bad drought years, farmers last year harvested a fine, 7.8 million-ton wheat crop. After a year of tasteless, sandy-colored bread adulterated with birdseed, Argentines are again eating white bread...
