...York City, which has more newspapers and magazines than any other U.S. city, has no press club where all newsmen gather. Instead, they meet in such restaurants as Bleeck's, Tim Costello's, et al., but never under a roof of their own. Last week New York newsmen got ready for their own club. The Overseas Press Club, made up of present and past foreign correspondents, took title to a handsome five-story building in midtown Manhattan (39th Street east of Fifth Avenue), plans to open the club next fall as a memorial to the 65 U.S. correspondents...

Budapest made no strident announcement such as that which doomed Czechoslovakia's Rudolf Slansky et al. But from the tales of refugees and monitored Red radio broadcasts, Western agents concluded that a Russian purge tribunal has gone to Hungary to root out "suspected Zionists" from the strongly Jewish (90% in the top echelons) government of Communist Premier Matyas Rakosi, who is himself...
...Lacey) Stevens A 42-year-old Detroiter who rose from filling-station grease monkey to millionaire, Stevens was in the group that bought Manhattan's Empire State Building for $51 million a year ago "because it looked like a cheap piece of real estate" (TIME, June 4, 1951 et seq.). To him Boston is another such property...
