...picture shows Zapata (Marlon Brando) as a somewhat crude but noble fellow with a nice regard for the social amenities. He is also characterized as a thinker and talker, as well as a brawler. According to the movie, he is a sort of middle-of-the-road democrat who repudiates both dictators and rabid revolutionists. When the real-life Zapata wasn't busy killing his enemies, he found time to go through bogus marriage ceremonies with 26 women, only one of whom he wed legally. The film Tiger is permitted only one beauteous señorita (Jean Peters...
...loudest talker was Frank Shields, non-playing captain of the losing U.S. Davis Cup team. Shields had ignored Savitt in the Davis Cup matches, had put his confidence in aging (30) Ted Schroeder (ranked No. 7), who turned out to be the goat of the series. Shields was intent on keeping Savitt ranked right where he was, at No. 3. Cried Shields: "Never once in the past three months has Savitt looked like a champion. Not only that, but he was not the most cooperative player in the world while we were in Australia, and his sounding off brought discredit...
...weeks before the baseball season opens, Ted will report for his physical. If he passes, he will start getting a captain's base pay ($356 a month) and probably go to work at his old wartime job: teaching cadets how to fly. Airman Williams, an indiscreet talker when he gets his dander up, said the right thing this time: "If Uncle Sam wants me, I'm ready. I'm no different than the next fellow." Just to show that it was impartial-and not out to sabotage the Red Sox pennant chances-the Marine Corps also called...
...plump, scholarly man with a connoisseur's taste for fine wines and first editions, Lindner's erudition awed his staff. He was an authority on the theater, a patron of the opera and symphony, a collector of Japanese prints and a dryly witty talker on such topics as 19th century literature. Largely self-taught, he was graduated from Manhattan's DeWitt Clinton High School and worked on several magazines and dailies as a reporter, ad manager and editor before he was spotted by Hearst's Prince of the Realm, Arthur Brisbane, who took...
...Plain Talker. But no one was truer to the image of the ruggedly free businessman N.A.M. likes to see than its new president, William J. Grede (rhymes with Brady), 54, boss of Milwaukee's Grede Foundries, Inc. Elected to replay William H. Ruffin, president of Durham, N.C.'s Erwin Mills, Inc., Bill Grede describes himself as a "foundry man or sand rat, as we call it." By selling pots & pans, he worked his way through two years at the University of Wisconsin, then quit to invest in a small foundry. Ever since, he has been running...
