Oona and Charlie sleep in twin four-posters. He rises at 10 a.m., has his daily Turkish bath and, in winter, jogs around his property wearing three sweaters and an overcoat. He has taken up skiing, and he falls all over the slopes like a six-year-old, but he is trying hard to conquer the sport. In warm weather, he plays tennis and does calisthenics every day on the lawn.

Stevens has financed Faubus' career, while Faubus has consistently done all his all to smooth the path of the Witt Stevens Company, the Arkansas-Louisiana Gas Corporation (ArkLa), which...
Taking voice lessons, she shed her Neapolitan dialect for a clearer Italian. She posed for more pictures-semi-covered with a bath towel, twirling an eel like a two-foot hot dog, being lassoed by Indians, having her brassière adjusted by a male volunteer, going to Mass, holding her skirt so high that the Italian police confiscated the entire edition of the magazine that ran the picture on its cover...
