Tears & Tantrums. Only on the subject of Under Secretary of State Chester Bowles did the second-guessers of the press reach anything approaching accord. This was mostly because the Bowles shift was something less than a shock. Ever since his near expulsion from State last summer, a close shave widely publicized by Bowles himself (TIME, July 28), most of the nation's papers have been fully prepared for the ax to fall. They wondered only why it took so long...
...cultivate grass roots than to shape ringing national issues. In the wheat-growing West, Prairie Lawyer Diefenbaker has made hay by swinging a $362 million grain sale to hard-pressed Red China. By devaluating the Canadian dollar last June, the Tory government has helped spur exports 4.8% and shave Canada's deficit-of-payment imbalance. Unemployment has dropped to 318,000 (4.9% of the labor force). But on the debit side, Diefenbaker has failed to show how his government intends to meet the new challenge of world trade-particularly that posed by Britain's expected entry into...

Gillette scraped up some money from friends, formed his company in 1901. He placed his own bushily mustached face on every package of blades, and launched a widespread advertising campaign to debeard the U.S. male. So successful was Gillette that his face became a medicine-cabinet fixture and the close...
...only his fifth major league season, Maris was already assured of making about $67,000: some $42,000 in salary and World Series bonus, another $25,000 in fees for personal appearances and "testimonials" for such assorted products as Camel cigarettes, Infra-Rub and Aqua Velva after-shave lotion. But his busy agent, Frank Scott (other clients: Mantle, Warren Spahn, Willie Mays), estimates that movie and magazine rights to Roger's life story, royalties from a "Maris" candy bar and TV appearances (at $7,500 each) may boost his income by as much...
