...other nation, West or East, has proved willing to enlarge its Chinese quota. Why did the Chinese Reds allow the refugees to get out, thereby offering the world plain proof of the Communist system's failures in China? The reason, in all likelihood, was that the Peking regime did not want to keep masses of potential troublemakers within its borders -and perhaps maliciously enjoyed Hong Kong's difficulties. The British formally urged Peking to halt the flood. The Reds may or may not have listened to the protest, but at week's end, the stream of refugees...
...public art museums commonly boast that they are thronged. Their critics commonly reply that of course museums are thronged: most of what they show is free, while ball games, for example, cost real money. Last week came proof that Americans in big numbers are quite willing to pay well to see great art. The proof fell naturally to Pablo Picasso, art's biggest box-office draw. During May, nine Manhattan galleries joined to present a comprehensive showing of Picasso's work for the benefit of the Public Education Association. In the four weeks that the exhibition ran, more...
...each rally." Most impressive argument offered by the bears to support their position lay in the hard-won new realism of ordinary investors about growth and the price-earnings ratio. From now on, says Bache's Gordon, "prices of stocks will not increase unless we can really see proof of growth in earnings." Only slightly less pessimistically, E. F. Hutton & Co.

...there was an oversupply of grain-storage facilities in West Texas, and Estes could not keep his warehouses full enough to reap really massive profits. After the collapse, amid mounting evidence that Estes had been doing favors for Agriculture Department officials, the department put out these figures as proof of its virtue: early this year Estes' facilities were 43.4% filled with federal grain as against a Texas statewide average of 48.6%; later on, Estes' figure rose to 58.3%, but the state average also went up, to 62.9%. Said a White House staffer: "If Estes was spending...
...such swashbuckling company, Stan Musial seems pleasantly out of place-living proof that nice guys do not necessarily finish last. Nobody has ever seen him sulk or throw a tantrum. Unlike Ruth, he has never punched a cop. Unlike Cobb, he has never attacked a crippled heckler in the stands. Unlike Wagner, he has never stuffed a ball into a base runner's teeth. He is, says ex-Teammate Joe Garagiola, a "saint with money." Only once, in 1959, has he openly disputed an umpire's call. The ump's reaction was hilarious-he gaped at Musial...
