...evening Tribune, spirited editorial rivals, share the same shop. Papers in three Georgia cities have combined as the Georgia Group, whose ad salesmen sell space at a reduced group rate. In a single plant in Clarksville, Tenn., Publisher James Charlet prints nine papers. In a recent, dramatic example, New York's chain-publishing S. I. Newhouse sold plant and property of his strikebound St. Louis Globe-Democrat to the thriving St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which will print the Globe on contract...
Smaller Slice. Successive waves of subscription and advertising increases have not only failed to meet skyrocketing costs, but in some cases have pushed advertisers and readers both into rebellion. New York City's three afternoon papers-World-Telegram and Sun, Post and Journal-American-have yet to recover the circulation they lost two years ago by raising the copy price from 5? to a dime. The Chicago Tribune now offers bargain advertising "zone rates" to hold fringe accounts, such as the corner grocer, who neither wants nor will pay for a citywide broadside. In Pasco, Wash., Sears, Roebuck began...
...Bolshoi's Swan Lake was strikingly different from the two versions-by the New York City Ballet and Britain's Royal Ballet-most frequently seen in the West. While the City Ballet version telescopes the action into a single act and provides brilliant virtuoso movements for the entire ballet corps, the Bolshoi keeps the original four acts and focuses on the soloists, with the corps often planted in mere statuesque rows and curves.

...prefer originals, bolsters his shows with big-name stars (a technique he says he deplores), and brightens a commendable number of evenings with some of the best, most tastefully produced shows television has to offer. Last week, while he prepared his own Open End talk show for New York's gabby Channel 13 and juggled projects that will keep him busy from Broadway to Hollywood well into 1963, he also rode herd simultaneously on two diverse TV spectaculars: a 1½-hour adaptation of Terence Rattigan's familiar The Browning Version, and a two-hour edition of Sally...
...Internal Revenue Service agents, watches carefully synchronized, swooped down on Slenderella salons in 24 cities, slapped on liens for $1,235,445 in unpaid taxes, picked up any cash handy. So swiftly did the action come that Slenderella managers and patrons were taken completely off guard. In New York City two women entered while a revenue agent was scooping up cash from the registers. They paid him $500 for treatments, thinking that he was an attendant. In Cleveland, revenuers quietly permitted the attendants to complete treatments in progress before padlocking a Slenderella salon...
