That seemed like quite a reaction to a price increase that touches only 7% of total steel production in the U.S., but the Administration obviously feels that even a minor hike might act as a symbol to encourage others to raise prices. Bethlehem may have to back down, but it will not be because of a repeat of the Administration's successful use of stockpiles to force back price increases in aluminum and copper. The government has no stockpiles of steel. What it does have is a voice that is very hard to ignore when it is insistent...
...premiere promoters hustled Sex Symbol Brigitte Bardot off to Hollywood for the West Coast opening of Viva Maria! and Sex Symbol Sophia Loren had Manhattan all to herself. Well, not all. Such other delightful images as Julie Christie and Geraldine Chaplin paraded into Broadway's Capitol theater for the premiere of Doctor Zhivago, but the crowd saved the rave for Sophia, who didn't even play in the picture.

Trains wail along outside the house where Lara and her mother's self-seeking lover (Rod Steiger) generate the first sparks of scandal. After the revolution, a train carries Yuri, his wife Tonya (Geraldine Chaplin) and his family away to the relative safety of the Urals...
...just the sort of medicine that the Congo needed, and the rolled-up sleeve became a nationwide symbol overnight. Some took it for more than a symbol. Next day, when two Leopoldville businessmen walked into the post office building wearing neckties and long, rolled-down sleeves, they were immediately arrested and taken off to a police station by an overzealous cop. He had to let them go when the desk sergeant explained that rolled-up sleeves were a figure of speech...
