...great strike between the forces of management and labor of the steel industry is more than a present threat to the welfare of the U.S. It is a vivid symbol of what America has come to treasure most and fight for the hardest: material security and monetary wealth...
...B.B.G. will soon put up for grabs licenses for new private TV stations in the major Canadian cities, which at present have only one station each (some privately and some governmentally owned, but all affiliated with the government network, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.). Under its proposed code, the new stations-as well as the old-would be required to provide 55% Canadian programing, stay off the air until noon, reserve two hours of prime evening time for programs of which the governors approve. Private broadcasters see this code as deadly to profits, arguing that 55% Canadian programs would necessarily...
Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison, famed naval historian, was present, bewigged, buttoned and bowed in the fashion of the court of Louis XV. Harvard President Nathan Pusey turned up, sedate in white tie and tails. Of the 60 guests, 40 were in 18th century costume, and their names made a roll call of Boston's social top drawer.

Place: the 60-seat, century-old Varieties Theater...

The packagers could never have risen to their present power were it not for the fact that, as Packager (Screen Gems) Harry Ackerman puts it, "the networks are run by businessmen, not showmen." Robert Edmonds Kintner, 50, has no quarrel with that situation. A Swarthmore graduate, he started out as a New York Herald Tribune Wall Street reporter in 1933. Son of a Stroudsburg (Pa.) schoolteacher, Cub Kintner, a lean, spectacled Hall-of-Ivy type at the time, at first "didn't even know where Wall Street was." But he learned quickly. Though an ardent New Dealer...
...steel, is in the best position, but it has only enough steel to last into early December at reduced production rates. Chrysler, already operating on a four-day week, will probably have to shut down completely by late November. American Motors expects to continue at its present high production rate. Studebaker-Packard also hopes to get by without any cutbacks. General Motors is just about shut down; the company is short all types of steel, has laid off 200,000 production workers and closed down all lines except limited production of Buicks, Corvairs and G.M. trucks and buses. G.M. estimates...
