...influence on architecture (TIME, Jan. 2) or to admit a deficit, San Francisco's fair is still in the competition with its naughty-naughties. Handicappers' current No. 1 choice is Sally Rand's troupe of cowgirls, wearing boots but no saddles on a "Dnude* Ranch" behind plate glass (see cut p. 16). Instead of "Midway," the fair's fun section is called "Gayway," which, although it means red-light district down South, sounds less bawdy to Western ears than "Barbary Coast," first and logical choice...

Each astronaut will be allowed one cup (but no saucer), one plate and one spoon, and a knife and fork might also be taken to be passed around from hand to hand...
Specializing in quality work, Pilgrim prospered. By 1913 Partners Dann and Bancker could afford a new $1,000,000 plant, as light and airy as any in the country. They set up recreation facilities, a vacation clubhouse, took to calling employes Pilgrims, put a name plate at every worker's post. In 1921 they began letting all employes buy stock. By 1937 employes owned over 50%. Mr. Bancker having died the year before, they were also offered his 25%, leaving Mr. Dann only 25%. The price of the company's shares once...
