...plans to tame the wild frontier with some likely-looking cowpokes from the stables of Warner Bros. Biggest and most expensive property is tantrum-prone Frank Sinatra, who will headline two live hour-long spectaculars, 13 half-hour musicals on film and 23 filmed dramatic shows. Frankie's three-year contract will bring him about $4,500,000. Soprano Patrice Munsel will become the first star on the Metropolitan Opera roster to have her own TV series, and both bouncy Guy Mitchell and bland Pat Boone will head up their own variety shows. Warner is busy grinding out reels...
...Gloves. Some of the neglect may be traced to the man himself. "I'm a hermit and I have no friends," says Cozzens candidly. For almost a quarter-century, except for a three-year stint writing manuals and speeches...
...yeastless days of the 1957 budget spree, the House authorized only $3,116,833,000 for mutual security and insisted that the old year-to-year development programing be continued. The Senate, less obdurate, approved $3,617,333,000 for the entire program and upheld the President's three-year development-loan request.

Commented...
President Eisenhower had asked Congress to authorize a $3,864,410,000 foreign-aid program for fiscal 1958 and, in a vital and farseeing change from past policy, had asked authority to spread $2 billion in repayable loans to underdeveloped countries over a three-year period. This departure from year-to-year development programing would be more efficient, less expensive, and would encourage underdeveloped nations to set up sound, well-planned projects...
...precocious teen-age pupil of Murder Inc.'s Louis ("Lepke") Buchalter, urbane, well-tailored Iceberg Johnny Dio, 43 (real name: Dioguardi), was belatedly packed off for a three-year stretch at Sing Sing by Racket Buster Tom Dewey in 1937. The charge: extorting protection money from garment district truckers and cloak-and-suiters. Long out of stir and prospering by 1950, Dio became a smoother thug, refined his old muscle technique to set up "paper locals" (no rights, few members), shook down businessmen with threats of "labor violence" and picketing. So powerful grew "Mr. Dee" that two months...
