...world where indolence, inefficiency and fiscal fecklessness are the rule, Graham is a nonpareil. He has grown rich by knowing what is good, and hiring the best talent he can get. He provides his performers with the best equipment and facilities, and expects them to be good. If they are not - even though most of the audience may not know the difference - Graham simply stops booking them, regardless of how well they draw. The result is that Graham's two Fillmores are the places where the top talent wants to be heard - and the rock world grudgingly knows that...
...hard-earned dollars and join Students for a Democratic Society, then a relatively recent addition to Dean Watson's mailing list. I was soon taken in hand by a moustachioed radical several years my elder, with whom I spent a curious, concentrated week canvassing the freshman dormitories for political talent. We weren't too successful, if the truth be known, finding most of my classmates had their minds on P. T. credits and Gen Ed Ahf and the girl next door in Nat Sci 5 lab.

...that fact is another kind of bad joke. She is a simple, lost, physical girl still in her teens, with no past herself and, so far, little sign of a future.

So, when death comes, it seems to strike a just and dreary balance...
...Weyman was not inclined toward long-playing roles. He found that a succession of new impersonations made the most stimulating demands on his talent. If he had never piloted a plane, for example, how much sweeter the triumph of posing before fawning New York crowds as a returning aeronautical hero. He could not read a word in Le Figaro, but he came on convincingly as a French navy lieutenant named Royal...
Died. Guy Rowe, 75, U.S. artist whose intensely realistic portraits (with the signature "Giro") graced more than 40 TIME covers; of cancer; in Huntington, N.Y. Rowe discovered his talent via a vaudeville act in which he drew chalk portraits of well-known people; he saved enough money for art school, became a New York commerical artist, and in 1943 won his first TIME commission. The association was interrupted from 1945 to 1949 while he worked on 32 highly acclaimed illustrations to Biblical characters for the book In Our Image: Character Studies from the Old Testament. Then he went back...
