Nourished by a generous soil and a benign climate, this open-toed, pastel empire last week beat with a great hum-thrumming vitality. On Wilshire Boulevard, rivet guns prattled into the fresh steel of new office buildings. The reiterated whop of the hammered nail rang out in a 6,000-house development on San Fernando farmland, in a 17,000-house subdivision in the tawny hills 40 miles to the southwest in Palos Verdes-and wherever bulldozers sliced down citrus groves to make room for more. From the swarms of workers in electronics and aircraft plants came one big, tumultuous...
...Producer-Host Robert Montgomery, TV aide-de-camp to President Eisenhower, rang down the curtain on his hour-long NBC dramatic show after a seven-year run. The last play was Faust '57, a disjointed modern treatment of the classic tale about a pact with the Devil-and an ironic choice, since the program had been going to hell all season.

"Strike here!" he said. Simone struck, and Marie-Claire woke in a shock. "Simone," she cried. "No. No." Dr. Evenou held her close in his arms. "There...
Peaceful, pro-Western Lebanon, where Americans usually send their dependents when disorders occur in other parts of the Middle East, rang with the sound of gunfire last week. With elections only a week off, the neutralists and leftists felt that they were getting nowhere by orthodox politicking, and ordered a general strike. They demanded the resignation of Premier Sami Solh's government which recently approved the Eisenhower Doctrine. At the end of sporadic fighting, seven rioters were killed, 70 wounded, including onetime Premier Saeb Salam, and 341 arrested. Police captured one demonstrator armed with a Czech-made automatic pistol...
