Born in South Bend, Ind., Stein originally set out to be a doctor, got an M.D. at Chicago's Rush Medical College in 1921, studied ophthalmology at the University of Vienna, wrote a learned treatise ("The Use of Telescopic Spectacles and Distil Lensen") after he returned to Cook County Hospital as a resident. He organized a band in which he played the fiddle, made bookings for other bands for a fee, finally teamed up with William R. Goodheart Jr., who later retired, to found M.C.A. as a band-booking agency in 1924. This sideline proved so profitable that...
Still, the Army kept working on Jupiter, with Medaris and Von Braun shuttling between Huntsville and Washington, begging and borrowing Army research and development funds to keep going. Said Medaris: "We bend every effort we can to make up for whatever handicaps or checks have been thrown into it, and we tire people and wear them out, but we get it done." With the job of testing a nose cone for Jupiter, the Huntsville team kept going on Jupiter-C.

Margie must spend at least six months in the rigid cast, though she can now enjoy the luxury of having her head free. Then there will be a "holding jacket," reaching only to the hips, for four months; most of that time Margie, though at home, will...
...horses: they are shooting so many westerns that Hollywood stables can hardly keep up with their bookings ($10 a day for an "extra" horse, $25 minimum for a beast with a role). This shift in concern was as telling a portent as any last week when television rounded the bend of its 1957-58 season. It is a season in which network advertisers are spending more than ever-about $660 million a year-to woo the largest audience yet-42 million TV homes-on the theory that, as one CBS bigwig frankly put it. "the best kind of entertainment...
