...young (23) Barrie Chase, Fred's new partner, fitted into his new routines as easily as Ginger Rogers or Cyd Charisse ever fitted into the old. Jonah Jones, a beaming barrel of a man, demonstrated that a trumpet can almost talk, especially if it has Astaire's tireless feet to talk back. Fred, singing a medley of songs from past triumphs, nudged two generations of fans to misty nostalgia. Every dance number showed that TV choreography need not be uniformly awful; every stage effect taught the cameras new tricks...

Allies Help. Against this array Dulles fought a tireless battle. Though Chinese Communists had shown no interest in real negotiations at Warsaw, Dulles ordered U.S. Ambassador Jacob Beam to talk with them again this week.

Murray, 55, professor of economics at Iowa State College, a tireless and dedicated campaigner who shook hands in all 99 counties during the primary campaign, will visit all 99 again before November. A political novice, Bill Murray has previously dipped in politics no farther than the Ames school board, between campaign stops avidly reads such books...
After seven bright years as NATO's elder statesman and tireless gadfly, the Deputy Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, was retiring. One afternoon last week, after a round of farewell parties, doughty Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, 70, stepped out of SHAPE'S headquarters building near Paris, marched briskly past cheering troops (including a blue-grey contingent of the Germans he had fought so well in World War II). Then Monty shook hands with his boyish-looking boss, U.S. Air Force General Lauris Norstad, 51, and drove off. "Silly old boy," mused one British private soldier...
