Despite the S.R.O. signs, it looked as if the Sadler's Wells Ballet Company had got off on the wrong toe. For more than two weeks, the company, on its third visit to Manhattan (TIME, Sept. 21), staged some familiar oldtimers, but its new numbers were largely disappointing-and at times, plainly dull. Then, last week, Sadler's brought on another new one, a bucolic, mythological tale entitled Sylvia. "Magnificent," cried Critic Walter Terry in the Herald Tribune. "The ducal birthright of the ballet is made manifest." "A sumptuous extravaganza," announced John Martin in the Times. "An exemplary...
Templeton filled out Orwell's spare dialogue in Nineteen Eighty-Four and focused, for dramatic purposes, on the torment of Oceania's petty bureaucrat, Winston Smith, who helps make history toe the party line in the Ministry of Truth. Actor Eddie (Roman Holiday) Albert, who has often skillfully played Hollywood's average man, portrayed Smith's crimethinking (dangerous thoughts) and search for ownlife (individualism).

Istvan won top honors with his incredible double turns in the air, but Nora, looking like a round-faced Spanish beauty in her red tutu, whirled through 28 whipping turns on one toe and finished with a toss of her head that brought down the house...
...first get-going months of the Eisenhower Administration. Commerce Secretary Sinclair Weeks resoundingly stubbed his toe by firing Dr. Allen V. Astin, 49, head of the National Bureau of Standards, in a row over Bureau tests of the battery additive AD-X2 (TIME, April 27). In the ensuing hullabaloo of scientific outrage and threatened resignations, Weeks reconsidered, decided to keep Astin for a few months, ostensibly while he looked for a permanent replacement...
