...does not quite belong in the bouquet. It is true that she was plucked as casually as any of the other gorgeous flowers (a director spotted her on the street), and that she probably has no more talent than it takes for a black-eyed Susan to allure a bee. Beauty she has to a thrilling degree-the helpless beauty of a dark little nymph who seems to wake the satyr in men. But the secret of Gina's success is not beauty, not brains, not even luck. Hers is the first appearance in sunny Italy of a stormy...
...Long Beach, Calif., a bust of a young girl was exhibited by a sculptress whose name had a gaslitera ring to older art patrons. The artist: onetime Showgirl Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, 69, who was plunged into scream-headline scandal (and won the dubious title of "the girl with the bee-sting lips") in 1906, when her husband, millionaire Financier Harry K. Thaw, in a jealous fit of suspicion, shot and killed the nation's No. 1 architect, Stanford White, on the nightclub roof of Manhattan's old Madison Square Garden. But the sting was gone now.

Chancellor Konrad Adenauer was as cross and jumpy as a baited bear and as busy as a bee at twilight.

...frequent hot licks on his memoirs, building his $1,750,000 memorial library, gadding off to Democratic clambakes to give 'em hell while television cameras strain on their dollies to keep up with him, he obviously has no yen to let history pass him by. Last week bee-busy Mr. Truman had his most historic week since leaving the White House. First, he hopped up to Milwaukee to accept a $5.000 Steinway grand piano (for the library) from the American Federation of Musicians. On a convention platform bristling microphones, while some 1,100 professional musicians grinned and bore...
