Mahatma Gandhi-Twentieth Century Prophet (Stanley Neal Productions; United Artists). The still eloquent ghost of Mohandas Gandhi walks through this moving, full-length documentary about India's great leader. Culled from more than 10,000 ft. of film shot over a 37-year period, from Gandhi's early years in South Africa as a successful lawyer to his assassination in New Delhi in 1948, the highlights of his career are knit together with a stirring narration by Quentin Reynolds...
...Boston was quick to note, Sutherland is a ferocious artist. Except in such conventional portraits as his full-length painting of Somerset Maugham (TIME, June 13, 1949), he loads his canvas with writhing roots, needle-sharp thorns, blasted trees and immense grasshoppers.

The two women decided to give him something even more wonderful-a full-length let-out white mink coat with a raglan flare-back, shawl collar, scarlet silk lining and deep flap pockets lined with velvet. This took some time. The girls had to scrape up $2,000 for a down payment and agree to pay off the total price of $12,900 plus carrying charges at a rate of $475 a month. The astounded New York furrier who was commissioned...
...back at his desk by 2 o'clock. At 3:30 he watched benignly as seven members of his personal staff were sworn in. Two hours later, Ike walked over to a more elaborate ceremony in the great East Room of the White House. There, before full-length portraits of George & Martha Washington, Chief Justice Fred Vinson swore in the members of the Cabinet-plus Federal Security Administrator Oveta Gulp Hobby and minus unconfirmed Erwin Wilson. A Cabinet member's commission must be signed by the President and countersigned by the Secretary of State. Secretary of State John...
