...Stanton rallied gamely. It is important, said Stanton, "to have color TV come quickly by the best available system . . ." Looking ahead to this month's important hearings before FCC, he added: "CBS color TV has been proved through numerous tests and demonstrations . . . We will look forward to studying similar tests and demonstrations of the latest RCA system...
...only a handful will ever make the grade. But the future of U.S. art rests with that handful. Last week the Addison Gallery at Andover, Mass. staged a sneak preview of what some of the more promising students are up to. Gallery Director Bartlett Hayes Jr. had arranged a similar cross-section show last year (TIME, Aug. 16, 1948); this year he invited 25 schools not represented in the first exhibition to submit their prize work. The entries covered the U.S. from Oregon to Alabama, included a smattering of good pictures, most of which turned out to have been painted...

In the Merck laboratories, the Strophanthus product, sarmentogenin (first isolated in 1915), had already been carefully considered.

Its chemical structure is similar to the 17th intermediary product in the current process, he admitted, but that similarity by no means assures that the end-product after further processing will be identical. So far no sarmentogenin, the product of the African plant, has ever been fully processed into cortisone...
...difference was a little black box with a face like a parking meter's and a slot like a piggy bank's. Called the Meter-Matic, it is similar to pay-as-you-go meters used during the depression, then discarded when money began growing on trees again. The gadget is fastened atop the refrigerator and the purchaser drops in a quarter a day (or more, depending on the installment conditions); if he fails to drop the coin in the slot, the electric current shuts...
