...wash of white space, new type, and pictures boldly played; its brighter columns carried livelier, shorter stories. Inevitably the Observer, historically dominant, stole further circulation and advertising marches on the News. By last year News Publisher Thomas Lambard Robinson, watching his paper slip below the break-even point, put it on the block, as a last resort offered it to Jim Knight...
...wheel of a speeding car, and even gargles before going to bed at night (on the sound track, anyway). Unhappily, Producer Walt Disney tells his shaggy-dog story so doggedly that he soon runs it into the pound. The story: a Renaissance ring that has the power to put a human being into the body of an animal falls into the hands of a teen-age boy (Tommy Kirk), who thereupon starts sprouting long white hair, soon finds himself living a dog's life. His father (Fred MacMurray) is of course horrified to hear him bark like...

Among them: "Falling Water," in Bear Run, Pa., Wright's first reinforced-concrete house, in which he flung cantilevered floors dramatically out over the waterfall; the S.C. Johnson & Son Co.'s Racine, Wis. wax factory, with soaring mushroom columns in the work space and a 16-story laboratory tower completely...
...Ayer expects to sell his new purchases to charter and cargo lines, will keep some planes himself and lease them to carriers for peak seasonal loads. For corporations, he will do a Convair over completely (bar, hifi, etc.), raise its fuel capacity to give it 50% greater range, put it in anyone's hangar for $385,000. Abroad, he is counting heavily on regional lines that cannot yet afford jets, but need better planes than they now have...
