Frantic for fear that Mr. Arnold's bombardment would smash their unions, or break a way for C.I.O. raiders, for weeks the A. F. of L. leaders have been strengthening their defenses. Shouted A.

...50th birthday, the greatest collaborator of his time can look back on a career in the theatre that would be spectacular in a man of 100.

Now & then, as on Christmas Eve, his gushing soul drips treacle; but the real Whiteside, from his wheelchair throne, commandeers the house, forbids his hosts to use the telephone, tries to smash his secretary's love affair, bewitches the servants, bedevils his nurse. Snaps he to "Miss Bedpan": "My great-aunt Jennifer . . . lived to be 102 and when she was three days dead she looked better than you do now." But the last word is hers: "If Florence Nightingale had nursed...
