...Colonial chain offers chairs and tables for weary shoppers to rest beside the soft-drink dispensers. Stores are also staying open longer. Kroger two weeks ago started doing business on Sundays in Ohio, and Grand Union in Norfolk stays open 24 hours daily to accommodate the round-the-clock shipyard shifts...
...orders may reach as high as $8 billion in the next five years, and in Washington the company was awarded a $237 million contract to build the Centaur mooncraft. In Quincy, Mass., it laid the keel for the first vessel-an attack submarine-that it will build in the shipyard it bought last January from Bethlehem Steel. In Groton, Conn., General Dynamics launched its first civilian submarine, a research sub for the University of Pennsylvania. It also broke ground for a lime-processing plant in Detroit and delivered a 160-passenger CL-44 turboprop plane to Icelandic Airlines. Altogether, General...
...Shipyard Studio. Among grownups, as well, Calder at 65 is Europe's favorite U.S. sculptor. In 1927 he delighted Paris with his tiny abstract circus of wire-wound clowns. The son and grandson of more conventional sculptors, Calder has the blacksmith's instinctual understanding and fondness for metal. His ham fists twist, snip and shear sheet metal into subtle forms that others can only hope to achieve in clay or marble. His latest works of iron are so heavy that his Paris gallery had to reinforce its floor with girders for a one-man Calder show last month...
...biggest stabile yet, Teodelapio, Duke of Spoleto, created for the 1962 Spoleto Festival, weighs 30 tons, looms 59 ft. high, and could only be assembled for the festival with the help of shipyard cranes in Genoa. Calder's first, more sylphlike stabile was created in 1931 when he was absorbing surrealism from Joan Miro and Jean Arp. From them he learned the art of expressing the forms of living things in the context and materials of the machine age. As the stabiles' dimensions have grown more mammoth, so have their artistic strength and lean, linear elegance...
...from the Garden. With a fortune approaching $300 million, Irving dominates much of the Maritimes. He owns the biggest hardware chain in the region, the public transit system in Saint John, 1,700,000 acres of woodlands, several mines, a steel fabricating plant, a shipyard, 16 tankers and 2,000 service stations that blazon the Irving name in red, white and blue from Newfoundland to Quebec. Almost everyone in New Brunswick has strong feelings-pro or con-about K. C. Irving. But he has so effectively walled himself from the public that few really know...
