Actually, we did not attempt this exacting job of putting the year's events in the world of business in their proper perspective until TIME was 17 years old. From that first year-end review to this one, however, a significant transformation in the viewpoint of our readers toward the review and toward business has taken place. In the beginning very few of you wrote to us about either of these matters. Since the war, we have received more and more letters from you-written by men and women, laymen and experts alike-containing knowledgeable comment on the facts...

Last week he laced his shots toward selected spots-to the right of the caddy, then to the left, then beyond.

...gawky young shop girl (Betsy Drake) who wants a husband to sit in a "big crunchee chair . . . so kind of pipee and bookee" beside the log fire (probably smokee). Her chosen prey is a morose baby specialist (Cary Grant). When he tries to escape, she lures him back toward the log fire by flirting with her boss (Franchot Tone).

He stays in the running, all the same, until the ingenious huntress invents a third swain (Eddie Albert), meant...
