Locked out last August by Met General Manager Rudolf Bing-because the Met did not want to begin rehearsals until contracts had been signed with the unions (TIME, Sept. 26)-the artists had proved angrier and more obdurate than anyone had thought possible. After the Met's lawyer temporarily blocked their unemployment compensation with a legal technicality, they refused Ring's first (and not notably generous) pay offer. As, little by little, he went up, they began holding out not merely for a better contract, but also for back pay to cover the rapidly mounting number of lost...
...commercial television. J.T., which will be broadcast on Saturday, Dec. 13,* is an original story written by Jane Wagner and beautifully directed by Robert Young.

For a beddo only sounds like a bed. In fact, it is an electronic adventure...
...money and a lot of girls. But few did it with Bailey's flair. A tailor's apprentice at 15, he was in his mid-20s when he bought his first two-tone Rolls-Royce (light blue on dark blue). At about the same time, he was traveling the world with his favorite model, Jean Shrimpton. Since then, there have been other cars, other trips, other girls. Now 31, Bailey has an annual income of about $100,000, an E-type Jaguar as well as a Rolls and two other cars, a beautiful and as yet undivorced wife...
