Throughout the country, women are stepping out into a bright new world of universities and industry, of monthly paychecks and partnership in the home, of planned parenthood and Max Factor makeup.

Green Pastures: With a deft Marc Connelly adaptation of his own 27-year-old The Green Pastures, a cast of talent and dignity headed by William Warfield as The Lawd, and superb singing, direction and color sets, NBC's Hallmark Hall of Fame went into the lists against a tough one last week−CBS's go-minute electronic botch of Mike Todd's exercise in mass gaucherie at Madison Square Garden (see PEOPLE).

Ed Wynn will get the first star-studded salute from Texaco Command Appearance...
...team to an easy Wightman Cup victory (TIME, Aug. 19); last week she did beat both Louise Brough and Darlene Hard to win the Essex County Invitational tournament in Manchester, Mass. She may not yet be close to the steady, spectacular game that was the hallmark of women's tennis in the days of Suzanne Lenglen and Molla Mallory, of Helen Wills Moody and Helen Jacobs. The champions of a few years ago-Pauline Betz, Doris Hart, Maureen Connolly-could probably have beaten her. But at an age when all the other topflighters are slipping downhill or have retired...
