...deadliest denizen of Cartoonist Al (Li'l Abner) Capp's disorderly world is the Lower Slobbovian Bald Iggle, the gentle-looking bird that fixes a maddening, sad-eyed stare upon anybody who tells a lie. If Lower Slobbovia really existed and the U.S. needed an ambassador there, Washington would do well to send Manhattan Dress Merchant Maxwell Henry Gluck. Of all the foreign diplomats in Lower Slobbovia, Max Gluck alone would be so honest that he would run into no trouble with Bald Iggles...
...Senator from Arkansas asked Gluck how much he had contributed to the Republican Party in 1956. Gluck admitted to "$20,000 or $30,000." (The record shows $26,500.) Then Fulbright asked how much Gluck contributed in 1952, and Gluck said "around $10,000."

Woebegone, egg-bald Sam Zakman provided a sharply etched picture of a disillusioned Communist and displaced labor-racket boy.

Even in Hollywood's Cloud-Cuckoo-Land, all falls are not prat. Last week doorknob-bald Cinemidol Yul Brynner looked more dashed than dashing after he tried some Cossack-style horsemanship for MGM's The Brothers Karamazov, swooped too low, fractured a vertebra. And Cinemactress Rita Hayworth kicked up her heels during the Pal Joey shooting, got sent to the showers with a gimpy tendon...
ANGEL BERNAL CARBAJAL, 57, is the President's closest friend and a "man with no bite." Like Aleman and Ruiz Cortines, Carbajal is a native of Veracruz and now holds the patronage-heavy post of Interior Minister. A onetime professor of history and Supreme Court justice, he is bald, calm and personable...
