...fate of the fish split the Northwest. Washington State's Democratic Senator Warren Magnuson gulped hard and said he was all for the big Nez Perce dam. He was joined by some defecting fishermen willing to sacrifice sport for power. Against them, loyal fishermen hotly proposed a ten-year moratorium on all middle Snake River dams while fish-saving technology improves, and Dr. Alfred J. Kreft, president of the Oregon division of the powerful Izaak Walton League, said he will "raise all hell" to press it in Congress. Oregon's Democratic Senator Richard Neuberger, a staunch conservationist, said...
...brothers agreed to wait until Arthur's widow, Louise Grieb Eisenhower, completed funeral plans before deciding what to do. Next morning the President postponed a scheduled press conference and a formal dinner for Chief Justice Earl Warren. But he went ahead with a perfunctory ceremony observing the tenth anniversary of the Smith-Mundt Act permanently establishing the Voice of America.

While the Met, with Robert Merrill and Warren, has enough starring baritones, Sereni will be useful in such important feature roles as Marcello (Bohème) and Silvio (Pagliacci...
...play tells of two sugar-cane field workers (Kenneth Warren and Playwright Lawler), the one a Samson at his job, the other a Don Juan with the women. For 16 summers, during the long layoff period, they have come to Melbourne for a home-style spree with two barmaids. Each year one of them has given his girl a Kewpie doll, by now a symbol of gaily recurrent romance and absentee devotion. This 17th summer, with the other girl married and a new one (Madge Ryan) in her place, with relations between the two men rather strained, and with various...
