Much the same could be said of Armitage's own work. Barrel-bodied shapes such as his Standing Figure (see cut), with stiff, sticklike legs and doorknob heads, could have been dug out of a slag pile or found beneath Pompeii buried in volcanic ash. They represent a recent departure for Armitage, who since 1952 has moved away from his flat, screenlike groupings, created figures in the round that won him a $1,000 sculptor's award at this year's Venice Biennale...
...fires 7.62-mm. ammo, replaces light and heavy -30-cal. machine guns of World War I vintage. The first true infantry assault gun of its kind, it can be fired from bipod, tripod, hip or shoulder, weighs 23 Ibs. (v. 30-40 Ibs.), is designed for quick replacement of barrel...
...planned; every word was carefully timed. And the end result was the essence of relaxation. Titian-haired young (23) Barrie Chase, Fred's new partner, fitted into his new routines as easily as Ginger Rogers or Cyd Charisse ever fitted into the old. Jonah Jones, a beaming barrel of a man, demonstrated that a trumpet can almost talk, especially if it has Astaire's tireless feet to talk back. Fred, singing a medley of songs from past triumphs, nudged two generations of fans to misty nostalgia. Every dance number showed that TV choreography need not be uniformly awful...
...Pants. A jowly, barrel-shaped operator addicted to ice-cream sodas, Wald is at his bungalow office on the Fox lot every day at 7 a.m. For three hours he reads, reads, reads ("I can finish a book between 7 and 10") and chatters his reactions into a recording machine. His interest in books dates back to his days at N.Y.U.. where he studied under Thomas Wolfe. Wald did not forget that prolix prose poet's advice: "Gentlemen, never write anything but masterpieces; there's such a good market for them." Says Wald: "That...
From the tested model, Stephens designed a sleek, hard-charging champion that beat beautifully to windward, cut cleanly through the sea. Britain's Boyd built a barrel-chested challenger that bobbed too much in rough weather, slid off badly to windward. White-haired Cornelius ("Corny") Shields, Columbia's tactician during last summer's trials, put his racing-wise finger on Sceptre's big shortcoming: "She's too full forward and too fine...
