...displeasure of his fellow workers. Sixteen members of the confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions who, for one reason or another, had refused to observe a nationwide one-day "token strike" were sentenced to social ostracism in their own plants. At Derbyshire's Staveley Iron Works, Worker Ron Hewitt was forced to take his meals alone. For the next six months, Ron's 300 co-workers will not even give him a "good morning" when he comes to work. Their only communication with him during his five hours at work each day will be the monosyllables...
Puzzled George Van Dorp and his waterworks engineer colleagues [who found a rise in city water consumption at the end of each popular TV program - TIME, May 18] are some 15 years behind crusty old Oscar Edwin Hewitt, Ed Kelly's - and Chicago's - commissioner of public works in the '30s. Oscar, a onetime Chicago Tribune reporter, kept tabs on the popularity of radio programs by the drop-in-city-water-pressure method.

...Angeles last week, another memory patient was traveling an even more difficult road. Melvin Eugene Hewitt, 28, injured in a barroom brawl last year, was saved by a quick-thinking doctor who massaged Hewitt's "still" heart for 15 minutes. But he may never recover from the brain damage he suffered. Now living at home with his mother - he has a two-year-old daughter, is separated from his wife - Hewitt lives the life, of a dull, 14-year-old boy. Unable to remember events of the present for more than a fleeting moment, he watches boxing...
...story came off as if it had been spliced together in a film cutter's studio. C. H. ("Joe") Colledge, directing NBC's network picture, and CBS's Don Hewitt called for their Washington mobile units to pick up Harry Truman's car as it whisked to a stop a few feet from Truman's private plane. Televiewers watched Truman turn and wave at the precise moment that his alternate, Thomas Gavin, cast the President's vote in Chicago. A few hours later, mobile trucks caught Truman again, this time at Chicago...
