Since Russia has never signed an international copyright agreement, anybody who has a Russian score can legally play it or record it without paying royalties. But Leeds thought it saw a way to plug that leak in the commercial dikes. It sent a man to Moscow and obtained an "exclusive" contract to import Russian master tape recordings. Now, says the publisher, any unauthorized record release in this country will be a violation of its property rights. A fortnight ago, Leeds sent stern notes to U.S. record manufacturers: before releasing Soviet performances, they would have to sign...
Temporary Dips. In addition to expanding basic lines, Doan has also worked to plug plastics, which he feels is the chemical field with the most promise. Among Dow's plastic consumer items: radio cases, toys, housewares.

...then High Noon falters, e.g., the moment when the marshal's wife suddenly shows up to help him plug the desperadoes is stronger on gunplay than on screenplay. And Grace Kelly is somewhat overglamorous as the wife. But the rest of the performances are up to High Noon's generally high level of writing and direction, particularly Lloyd Bridges as the edgy deputy marshal and Katy Jurado as the marshal's fiery ex-girlfriend. Gary Cooper, as the marshal, has one of the outstanding roles of his long acting career: a tired and unheroic gunfighter, doggedly stalking...
