...leadership-hand politely extended-asked for just a little more consideration. After all, the party subsidizes the Y.R. treasury to the tune of around $90,000 a year. Could it not at least have veto power over the choice of the Y.R. executive director whose salary it pays? Any slim hope that the convention might comply was summarily dashed when Barry Goldwater advised against giving in: "Don't let them...

Ironically, the Cleveland Clinic's Dr. Irvine H. Page, 66, (TIME cover, Oct. 31, 1955), who served as chairman of the Diet-Heart Committee, was unable to present its report to the A.M.A. convention.

...flight occurred 40 years ago last week, and no one under 50 can fully appreciate what it meant.

...numbing slim-wittedness of Arthur Laurents' book seems to have infected the score: the songs evaporate as they leave the orchestra pit, despite such potent tunesmiths as Composer Jule Styne or Lyricists Adolph Green and Betty Comden. Some of the dances catch fire, notably a G.I. close-order drill done with smoking speed to syncopated shouts, and in a show that is more candied than candid, Leslie Uggams and Robert Hooks perform with unblemished, infectiously likable honesty.
