Director of the new, nonprofit Music Academy of the West will be plumpish Isabel Morse Jones, whose championship of Western musicians last January cost her her 20-year job as music critic of the Los Angeles Times. Said Isabel of her new school: "We do not aim at educating hundreds. We hope to have a hand in training the talented...
...makers of Stairway to Heaven-plumpish, rumpled Writer Emeric Pressburger and high-strung, contentious Director Michael ("Micky") Powell-can boast a freedom in their work that few other moviemakers in the world enjoy.

...plumpish, round-faced colonel, just back from Germany, appeared last week before the Senate's cartel investigating committee. In the voluminous charts and documents under his arm, Colonel Bernard Bernstein, onetime U.S. Treasury aide and now head of the Army's cartel investigations, had all that the Army has learned about Germany's world-girdling I.G. Farben, and he wanted to warn U.S. industrialists what they are still up against...
