Swinging through the humming steel towns of Pennsylvania last week, TIME Correspondent Jack Olsen reported: "A reporter going in to interview the steelworkers about baseball's Pirates would have a snap. The men devote their off-hour attention to the fact that Harvey Haddix is pitching or Bill Virdon hit a homer. But when it comes to the steel labor negotiations, they do not know what is going on. They do not understand the issues. They do not know what they want. They have a vague idea that their pension plan needs strengthening. Some of them talk about shorter...

At week's end Inonu canceled a scheduled visit to Berlin. Said...
...Capone (Burrows-Ackerman; Allied Artists) is amusing proof of the old saw that each generation rewrites history in its own image. In the lurid cinemythology of the '30s, Capone was glorified by Paul Muni (Scarface), Edward G. Robinson (Little Caesar) and James Cagney (Public Enemy) as a snap-brim Satan. In the sober retrospect of the '503, he is reduced by Rod Steiger to a mere whitecollar, clean-desk psychopath-a sort of organization maniac...
