...hullabaloo over labor-reform legislation, it appears that someone has been overlooked. I refer to the rank-and-file unionist. Without his support, no union boss could afford the elaborate retinue of thugs, lobbyists, and shysters that Hoffa commands. Yet the union members never question Jimmy's methods, so long as he gets results...
...result was considerably less exciting than the hullabaloo that went on outside the hall. Moscow, objecting to holding the West German election in Berlin, had made noisy threats before hand. Allied officials nervously watched the Autobahnen, expecting some kind of traffic obstruction by the Russians, and scores of police with walkie-talkies moved into position to guard against Communist demonstrations at the voting hall...
...Little Brother. In the hullabaloo over fallout, scientists have concentrated on strontium 90, neglected its little brother, strontium 89, though they are similar in emitting damaging beta rays. Main difference: Sr-89 decays faster, losing half its activity in 54 days, v. 20 years for Sr-90. But of the two, Sr-89 may be a greater hazard to the unborn child, warned Dr. Arthur R. Schulert of Columbia University's Lamont Geological Observatory, because an atomic fission bomb produces 160 times as much of it, and 20 times as much as appeared in milk after weapons tests.

The new $9,010,000 UNESCO Headquarters is a mammoth (by Paris standards) concrete complex that soars up 95 ft. to the top limit allowed by Paris' building code, and spreads over 7½ acres.

To make matters worse, the new structure was directly across from one of the gems of 18th century architecture-the revered...
...exhibitions of U.S. abstract expressionist paintings on view at the Brussels World's Fair (TIME, June 16) and making the rounds of major European cities as "The New American Painting" show (TIME, Aug. 4), have aroused some ahs, some boos and a great deal of hullabaloo. Tourists, critics, even State Department officials have suggested that these works give a one-sided-and distorted-glance at the U.S. world of art. This week a new European show of American paintings is stressing another side-realism...
