...Stormy Tory Leader Quintin Hogg (now Viscount Hailsham) wrote that if Christ returned, "we should learn again a secret, lost now to all except the saints in heaven-his sheer gaiety and charm, his incredible vitality, his spontaneous wit . . . Can you imagine anything but a smile when he nicknames the gentle John and his brother 'The sons of Thunder'? Is there not a light of amusement as well as seriousness when the impetuous Simon finds himself for all the ages called 'The Rock' . . . ? Christians have puzzled for centuries over the unjust judge and the fraudulent steward...
...cartoons syndicated to U.S. newspapers, few are more true to life than "The Neighbors." And few cartoonists work harder for realism than George Clark, 51, the short (5 ft. 6 in.), rumpled creator of "The Neighbors." Instead of a belly laugh, Humorist Clark tries for a smile, or at most a chuckle. This folksy, low-key humor has made the cartoon so popular that last week it was being syndicated to some 150 newspapers, from Manhattan's tabloid Daily News to the Sioux Falls (S. Dak.) Argus Leader. It is George Clark's fond hope that every reader...
Trade & Cooperation. "Cooperation with the U.S.," says Hatoyama with a polite smile, "is the basic policy of the Japanese government." He also believes that "Soviet intentions toward world domination are still there."

"I am convinced that China has no idea of trying to conquer...
Boeing's President William McPherson Allen flew into Seattle from Washington last week with a big smile on his face and a bigger contract in his pocket. Boeing had won the Air Force competition for jet tankers over both Douglas and Lockheed. Prize: a $460 million contract for a "substantial" number (more than 200) of KC-135s, the modified version of Boeing's 707 prototype jet transport (TIME, March 8, 1954). For Lockheed, there was a consolation prize consisting of a development contract for an "advanced" type of tanker...
...Purple Plain (J. Arthur Rank; United Artists) has something new and exotic to recommend it: a stunning 21-year-old Burmese beauty named Win Min Than, which means "brilliant a thousandfold." When she shimmers into focus in a screen-size closeup with a tremulous smile on her lips, sympathetic vibrations start humming around the movie house. They keep on humming as the girl with the almond-shaped eyes and trim little figure speaks the precise and attractively British English that she learned at an Irish convent in Rangoon. Her role in the movie (her first) is largely therapeutic. A crack...
