Paper Profit. In a handsomely printed three-color booklet, Sulzberger laid out the financial anatomy of the U.S.'s No. 1 newspaper and its countingroom history for the past five years. Most startling news revealed by the report: from 1953 to 1957, fully 53% of the robust Times's profits came not from publishing but from papermaking-a 42% interest bought in 1926 in the Spruce Falls Power & Paper Co. Ltd. in Toronto, Ont., which supplies two-thirds of the company's high-quality newsprint. With such a solid profit foundation, the Times had seven-figure nets...
...robust (5 ft. 11 in., 185 Ibs.), hearty man with a booming laugh and a frank manner, he can be both ruthless and devious in his striving for space. To some, Von Braun's transfer of loyalty from Nazi Germany to the U.S. seemed to come too fast, too easy. Von Braun's critics say he is more salesman than scientist; actually, he learned through the bitterest experience that his space dreams had to be sold ("I have to be a two-headed monster-scientist and public-relations man"). Others claim that the onetime boy wonder of rocketry...

Added Martin: "If I'm right in thinking that this strong, robust economy is suffering from overexertion, nothing can prevent the recovery of the patient-unless you give him a hypodermic that leads him to try to overexert himself again...
...born tenor whose clear, powerful singing more than makes up for his lack of height (under 5 ft. 5 in.). He made his successful Met debut as Alvaro in Forza del Destino, and his Edgardo in last week's Lucia di Lammermoor had the house cheering. His secure, robust voice approaches the stentorian singing of Mario Del Monaco, although darker and not so piercing...
Through the Alps. For all of Bruegel's lusty tastes and robust nature, the evidence is that he was not peasant-born, but a townsman, perhaps from Brogel near the home town of his great predecessor Hieronymus Bosch. Made a free master of St. Luke's painters' guild in Antwerp in 1551, he set out on a painting journey to France and Italy. But, unlike most of his contemporaries, Bruegel did not return home with his head crammed with Venetian painting and classical models. What had impressed him most was the magnificent sweep of Naples' harbor...
