...Still boasting N.E.S.R. (not even standing room) business after packing the house for every performance since opening night 2½ years ago, My Fair Lady passed its 143rd week (1,140 performances) on Broadway to set a new sellout record for long-run shows. Oklahoma!, the former champ, missed out on some standees in its 143rd week; South Pacific had a few square feet of space in the rear of the theater after its 130th week. By year's end Lady's producers expect their books to show $10 million of gross business, a round million more than...
...sellout crowd of about 47,300 is assured for the first game of this intriguing rematch of last October's frenzied series. The rest of the nation can listen or watch on network NBC television, which pays $3,000,000 for the privilege. The game starts...
...sales. Despite the fact that output has been low-4,288,907 cars this model year compared to 6,212,291 in 1957-the backlog of cars in dealers' hands was still high.

But with car sales sliding, the cleanup of 1958 cars will take more time than expected...
...churches? They find, above all. two things still relatively unchanged-liturgy and theology. Martin Luther, a prolific composer, himself handed down the most famous Lutheran hymn: A Mighty Fortress Is Our God. Bach is the pride of musical Lutherans, and the tradition continues. Just off the press, with a sellout first edition of 635,000 copies, is a brand-new Service Book and Hymnal more than twelve years in the making, with 602 hymns, many of them...
Perhaps most in demand is the work of Jackson Pollock, whose paintings reached a top price of $10,000 before his death two years ago. Major Pollock canvases are now bringing up to $30,000 each. But the boom is by no means all Pollock. Among the sellout shows this year: Mark Rothko (top price $5,000), Hans Hofmann (top $7,500), Philip Guston (top $4,000), and William Baziotes, whose recent show sold out at $3,500 top even before it opened. Adolph Gottlieb's show sold eight of ten (top $4,000), and Sculptor Seymour Lipton...
