...boys have been retired. And Tommy Kuchel, 52, a lawyer by training, looms on California's Republican landscape like a lone tree on an arid plain. His talent for winning elections has made him the No. 1 Republican of the nation's most populous state. Nine times he has run for public office-assemblyman, state senator, state controller, U.S. Senator-and he has yet to lose a race. Last year, when Pat Brown trounced Nixon and Democrats won nearly every statewide contest in California, Kuchel retained his Senate seat by a landslide margin of 728,000 votes...

But for all that talent and for all his study, Mucha was getting nowhere. Then, out of the blue, Actress Sarah Bernhardt came to the rescue. She urgently needed a new poster to advertise her new play. The theater manager telephoned the poster printer, and the printer gave Mucha the designing...
Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) was the beginning of the serious acting career of Humphrey Bogart. Splendid performances in African Queen and Sabrina that followed showed that the type casting of some twenty years had kept back a real talent, but Bogie's popularity fell when he ceased to play the symbol. At the time of his death in 1955 he presided over his own rather sophisticated "rat pack" as a Hollywood elder statesman...
