...items (chosen from a record 6,000 entries) ranged from preserve jars to crystal goblets, from plastic leaf rakes to automatic dishwashers. Most of them had bold, simple shapes; there were corkscrews and clothes hangers that might be mistaken for modern abstract sculpture. Cheap-looking plastic was disguised or dressed up, e.g., by pressing interesting-looking cloth weaves in plastic sheets. Furniture seemed more solid than in previous years, with more contrasting materials, e.g., brass and marble, and more expensive woods. Example: an oblong conference table in which eight pieces of walnut were matched perfectly to produce a flamelike pattern...
Cossio delights in explaining the subject matter of his finished mural. The crystal sphere at the bottom represents the human soul. Within it is a castle symbolizing the Church Militant. Spiraling up around the sphere are martyrs, saints and dignitaries of the Carmelite order. Borne amidst them on a shaft of light are St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross,* welcomed from above by the Madonna, and Child...

Unless (unlikely) the Americans are eliminated in an earlier Cup round, the U.S. mainstays should be Wimbledon Champion Vic Seixas, 30, and Tony Trabert, 23. Opposing them will be Australia's teen-age prodigies, Ken Rosewall and Lewis Hoad, both 18. In this week...
...profit after taxes; the plant plus $10 to $20 for each subscriber; gross receipts plus 20% for good will. But even when they apply any or all of the formulas, brokers like Washington's Allan Kander admit that after they get the result, they "dive for a crystal ball." And the formulas cannot account for the huge increase in values represented by some of the sales that have taken place. In California's San Bernardino County, the publisher of a semiweekly, which he bought for $85,000 in 1949, had five bids to pick from when he sold...
