...quiet determination of Music Producer Oliver Daniel, 41. Originally trained as a pianist, he joined the network ten years ago, produced such pioneering shows as Invitation to Music and School of the Air. As an enthusiast for contemporary scores, he also sandwiched them into briefer programs, along with salon music and show tunes. Nowadays, scarcely a program of CBS's informal Music Room, its recitals by Organist E. Power Biggs (both on Sunday mornings) or its Wednesday Top Hat show goes by without airing some new composition. Old friends Daniel and Stokowski met last winter and agreed that...
...billion-a-year U.S. women's wear industry has another answer. It can quote yards of facts and figures to show that high-priced clothes are not only worth every penny they cost, but even more. For example, Manhattan's Sophie of Saks Fifth Ave. custom salon, where cocktail dresses sell for as much as $695, just manages to break even; the salon is operated only for the prestige it brings to the store. The markup for expensive clothes is heavy-up to 100% of cost-but it has to be so to cover overhead. At a high...

Most yearbooks translate this into firing squad pictures, exhaustive lists of names, and straightforward accounts of the year's highlights. The Harvard Yearbook has added the entirely praiseworthy aim of evoking, by way of salon photography and a high standard of literacy, the College's atmosphere...
After the press conference in the ship's salon, she descended the steep gangplank, and on the pier waved a white-gloved hand to acknowledge cheers and shouts of welcome ("Benvenuta, Mrs. Luce!"). Then she and her husband Henry R. Luce, editor of TIME, LIFE and FORTUNE, got into a U.S. embassy Chrysler for the 150-mile trip to Rome. As the car wheeled into Naples' streets, a clatter of applause and cheers rose from a crowd of more than 1,000 Neapolitans who had lined the square outside the port area in hopes of catching a glimpse...
