...Titan is still on a "one-shift basis" and has not received a dollar of speedup money. Curtiss-Wright's President Roy Hurley aimed at the Pentagon budgeteers who withhold money for a program that has been approved by the Joint Chiefs and authorized by Congress: "You should shoot them, or drown them or put 'em in jail." Summed up Donald W. Douglas Sr., president of Douglas Aircraft Co. (Thor): "What we need most is more guts and less gobbledygook...
Intimidation Threatened. Last week the Democrats, willing to take such guilt by association no longer, rolled up their biggest gun to shoot down Pundit Kennan. The big gun: Dean Gooderham Acheson, 64, Harry Truman's Secretary of State (1949-52) and Kennan's old boss, who in 1949 signed the NATO Treaty.

In 1957, for example, Wilson's research and development cuts took the Army down...
...gentlemanly comic who rescued NBC's Tonight from the junk heap. Studio One produced The Deaf Heart (TIME. Nov. 4), a striking first script by a highly promising 29-year-old playwright named Mayo Simon, but nobody seems to know whether he can ride or shoot. Of the new situation comedies, only Leave It to Beaver (see below) has taken fire. Among minor new wrinkles: ABC's All-Star Golf (TIME, Dec. 23), a tournament played just for viewers; a vogue for old horror movies; the bold, brash (though often anticlimactic) interviews of Mike Wallace...
