...Next Prize ..." After the ceremony (performed by Lee's father, the Rev. Carrie Calhoun of the Evening Star Baptist Church of Gary, Ind.), the couple moved from the chapel set into the "reception room" with its artificial ivy, phony fireplace and tableload of shiny booty. The stagehands had already poured the Moet & Chandon champagne, and NBC had trundled in Jackie Robinson to greet the newlyweds. After some cued-in applause and plugs for Jackie (as an executive of Chock Full o' Nuts and publicity man for Look), there was a telegram from Floyd Patterson, also arranged...
Architecturally speaking. Congress has been giving the U.S. Air Force a rough ride. While Congressmen want the Air Force to have the very latest thing in airplanes and missiles, they do not feel quite the same way about chapels. Congressmen marshaled some Congress-like reasons two years ago to turn down plans for the Air Force Academy chapel at Colorado Springs (TIME, July 18, 1955 et seq.). So angry were their cries against the glass, steel and aluminum project that the Air Force decided to rub it all out and start over again. Last week the House debated...
...problem faced by Designers Walter Netsch and Gordon Bunshaft, partners of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, was to provide shelter and suitable surroundings for three services-Protestant, Catholic and Jewish-under one roof, and relate the chapel to the academy's other buildings and its majestic mountain backdrop.

He called it an "aluminum monstrosity" that "will look like a row of polished tepees upon the side of the mountains," and proposed that the appropriation of $3.000,000 be sharply cut. New Jersey's Democrat Alfred D. Sieminski, a veteran of World War II and the Korean war, disagreed, crying that airmen "fight and die in aluminum planes. They can worship in aluminum if they...
...imaginative, not monetary, values were what drew the crowds. Forty-five dollars bought a century-old bird cage patterned on a Gothic chapel; no amount of money could ever buy the notion of creating such a thing. Eighty-five dollars bought a rocking horse, carved by some boy's loving father, which had doubtless earned over a million dollars in fantasy races. Best in show, perhaps, was an iron weather vane in the shape of a rooster, presented by an appropriately named antiquarian, Myra Tinklepaugh. "They're hard to find," Mrs. Tinklepaugh briskly allowed. "I'm dickering...
