...JOURNALIST brings not only talent and effort to any story he handles, but also the store of experience that lies behind him. In some cases that pattern of the past has little import; in others it becomes quite important. The latter was true for Correspondent John Mulliken who did the reporting for this week's cover story. Mulliken and General Johnson have quite a lot in common...
...Talent for Burlesque. Well, that's showbiz. And there were a few other touches of it in last week's annual pro-football draft, as the A.F.L. took 18 hours to divvy up 253 college players, and the older National Football League took 36 hours to draft 305. The Washington Redskins, whose talent for burlesque is fairly obvious (season's record: five wins, six losses), drafted Princeton Place Kicker Charlie Gogolak as their No. 1 choice, giving him a modest $15,000 bonus, and announced afterward that they were insuring Charlie's kicking foot with Lloyd...
Dressler admits the rest of the Ivy League has more talent, but he expects Harvard to get along on esprit. "We don't depend on one person to score," he says.

These heart-rending groans, of course, were only a tactical maneuver - designed to keep prices down.

This year the battle for graduating college stars figures to be fiercer than ever, if for no other reason than that each...
...sensible business management and cost accounting to an erratic field in which producers too often think that budgets are for breaking. He knows what every item in every scene costs-"including how much I'll need to simulate icicles." When casting his shows, he scouts for little-known talent because "stars tend to take the cream off the top of the profits." Broadway musicals commonly cost $500,000 to produce, but none of Prince's shows has topped...
