...Tube. Hope of the industry for 1958 is the new wide-angle picture tube pioneered by Sylvania. By widening the projection angle from 90° to 110°, the new tube cuts 4 to 6 in. off cabinet depth, up to 50% off bulk. Herbert Riegelman, G.E. TV general manager, calls the new "slim line" the "industry's first opportunity for planned obsolescence," hopes that the new flatter sets will bring TV back into the living room as the old bulkier set is relegated to the playroom...
...polled 1,021,488 votes, 46.3% of all ballots cast. Republican Candidate Harold Riegelman got 661,410 votes, 29.9% of the total, the highest percentage that any candidate for mayor of New York City has ever received on the Republican ticket. Tagging along as a poor third (468,392 votes) was Liberal Candidate Rudolph Halley, better known outside New York than any of the other candidates because of his television performances as the Kefauver committee's chief inquisitor...

Next day, back in Riegelman's Manhattan, Israel promised the United Nations Security Council that she would stop work on the Jordan dam while the Security Council debated the case. The offer was much like one which the U.N. truce commissioner had rejected as unsatisfactory two weeks before. Nonetheless, on the strength of the stop-work order, President Eisenhower announced at his press conference that "we can proceed with our arrangement for the economic help of Israel." A few hours later, Dulles approved the reinstatement of a $26 million allotment to Israel for the six months ending at year...
Covetous Designs? Riegelman's visit to the State Department highlighted an old flaw in U.S. foreign policy: any attempt to work out decisions for the critically strategic Middle East automatically becomes a hot issue of domestic politics. The Truman Administration zigzagged between the pleas of Pentagon strategists for the conciliation of Arab nations and the domestic pressures for strong support of Israel. When the chips were down, Harry Truman always yielded to political pressure. Generally, Eisenhower and Dulles have worked more consistently to restore Arab confidence...
