...cosmetics is Charles Haskell Revson, president of Revlon, Inc. From Charlie Revson's hard-as-steel mind spring the soft and alluring shades-Red Caviar, Pink Lightning, Plum Beautiful-that have touched the lips of more U.S. women than those of any other maker. Last week, at 53, trim (5 ft., 8½ in., 144 lbs.), handsome Charlie Revson ran into some embarrassing new facial shades: Quiz Pink and Umbrage Blue. As sponsor of the rigged $64,000 Question and $64,000 Challenge-which in four years helped triple Revlon's sales to $111 million and boost...
...issue-national defense-Symington has made it abundantly clear where he stands. He stands for more: more air defense, more brush-fire war strength, more civil defense, more missiles. In his first Senate floor speech, in June 1953, he assailed Republican plans to trim airpower, charged that the Administration was apparently planning to use a "firmly balanced budget" as its weapon in case of Soviet air attack.

Henry J. still keeps in touch from Hawaii, often calls up sleeping Edgar at 4:30 a.m. and chortles: "Oh, did I wake...
...trim Fokker Friendship turboprop that touched down at Washington's National Airport last week was not as big as Nikita Khrushchev's big TU-114, but the welcome accorded its distinguished passenger was every bit as impressive-and considerably more cordial. As Mexico's President Adolfo López Mateos stepped out, a thundering 21-gun salute split the air; the U.S. Army Band rolled through Mexico's national anthem; a 231-man honor guard snapped to attention. On the red carpet stood Dwight Eisenhower, all smiles. "Bienvenido," said Ike, giving his guest a warm Latin...
...Gable comes to his senses and returns to his former wife, but she has been there all along: bright, funny, trim, feminine, mature, refined Lilli Palmer. If there is a man in the audience over twelve years of age who would not have preferred her from the start, he could only be the man who would be King...
