...reception worthy of visiting royalty, and all for Muzyad Yacoub Kairouz. There was a red-carpet welcome at Beirut's airport, then a feast of roasted sheep, goat and chicken to the throb of drums and the jangle of tambourines in the mountain village of Hasroun. finally the presentation of the nation's highest award, Commander of the Order of the Cedars, for "propagating the good name of Lebanon abroad." To U.S. TV fans, the fuss was readily fathomable. Yacoub is better known as hawk-nosed, ham-on-wry Danny Thomas, 48, Michigan-born son of a Lebanese...
...spectacular. There is the golfing boom, as new courses, opening at the rate of 60 a year, are jammed with wild-swinging enthusiasts. There is the bed boom, as people leave their straw mats for Western-style mattresses. There are skiing booms, boating booms, bowling booms, appliance booms. Cities throb with the pound of pile drivers pushing new office buildings and apartments skyward. Tokyo's streets -most of them no more than lanes-resound with the honking of 700,000 cars, trucks and motorcycles, v. 59,000 before the war; traffic jams are hideous, and the death rate from...
...Throb. Nonetheless, problems loom for A.M.C. One of the new management's first chores will be to find a replacement for Sales Vice President Virgil E. Boyd, 49, who was lured to Chrysler Corp. as vice president and general sales manager last week by a "tremendous offer I just couldn't afford to refuse." A.M.C. earnings fell from $48 million in 1960 to $23.6 million last year as spending on production facilities and merchandising was hiked to meet stiffening competition from Big3 compacts. Wall Street analysts are generally bearish about prospects for continued A.M.C. growth. Rambler, they reason...
...wealthy, well-bred girl (Barbara Cook) into a beddable wench who will fight like a fishwife for her male. Unfortunately, Actress Cook, who is as wholesome as sunshine, resists this metamorphosis, and Italy's Chiari, though he clowns likably in his U.S. debut, acts as if the throb in his heart has gone to his head. There is more bricklayer than boudoir in his voice. As the hero's pal, Comic Jules Munshin is as frisky as a seal at feeding time, and the dialogue he gets is just as fishy ("How did she take it?" "Lying down...
...National Academy of Design in Manhattan, went to Paris on the G.I. Bill and worked under Ossip Zadkine, now lives in Northport, Long Island. His work has gradually become more and more abstract, but even as he retreats from reality, he manages to put into his canvases the throb of life. His winning work (see color) expresses to him "the intense silence of a kiss," which accounts for its improbable title. It is more successful not as an expression of emotion but as a powerful piece of paintwork-billowing blues, slashed by molten yellow, floating in a sea of blackness...
