Since the unseen fiery deaths of Sputniks I and II, the edge of space near the earth had belonged to three small U.S. satellites, playing like baby bluefish in an ocean. Last week the Russians launched a shark: a cone-shaped satellite weighing 2,925 Ibs., not counting the empty rocket casing on a separate orbit...
...Sympathy. ¶ Plato Skouras, 28, son of 20th Century-Fox President Spyros P. Skouras, formed an independent company three years ago with his brother, Spyros S. Skouras, 34. CJ Sam Goldwyn Jr., 31, son of Old Guard Cinemogul Samuel Goldwyn, 73, has independently produced Man with the Gun, The Shark fighters, and the soon-to-be-released The Proud Rebel. ¶ Charles Chaplin Jr., 32, and his nine-months-younger brother Sydney appeared with their father in Limelight, have duckwalked away on their own: Sydney plays opposite Judy Holliday in Broadway's Bells Are Ringing; Charles...

Beyond vitalizing their gang spirit and varying their modes of warfare, he has managed to dance much of the documentary drabness out of the story, most of the sociological shock into it. He is least successful in a ballet where...
...Typical shark was squat, hoarse-voiced Max Chester (convictions for extortion, bookmaking, robbery), who walked into the offices of a Brooklyn plumbing supply manufacturer, Paul Claude, one day in 1954. Announced Max Chester: "I am going to unionize your shop." Testified fearful Paul Claude last week: "He wanted $2,000 to give me a contract that I can live with. I said, 'I haven't got $2,000.' He figured out with pencil and paper that a contract I couldn't live with would cost me $12,000. I could save myself...
