When Charles Santangelo, a magazine and comic-book printer of the Charlton Press Inc. of Derby, Conn. (Atomic Mouse, Hush Hush, Secrets of Young Brides), returned from vacation last February, he got a double shock. He heard reports that the firm's composing-room employees had been "molesting" women workers in the plant-patting them, whistling at them, and making gamy comments about what Brooklyn calls "the built."

Snorted Rockwell, whom Representative Santangelo listed as "suspect": "The White House has bought eleven of our Aero Commander planes. I can't even sell one to the military. How's that for influence?" When it comes to pressuring for contracts, he charged that the real big leaguers are in Congress itself. "Every time some...
Better Than Ever. In Boston, Anthony Santangelo, 12, showed up after a four-day absence, explained to his frantic family that he had been to the movies, seen A Girl for Joe seven times, Living It Up three times, Garden of Evil four times, Gone with the Wind three times, Duel in the Sun seven times...
