Taking the U.S. to his bosom in grand campaign style, Indonesia's jaunty President Sukarno continued his whirl through the East. At Thomas Jefferson's grave at Monticello, Moslem Sukarno lifted his hands, murmured a prayer (he explained later) "that God give him the best place in Heaven." Acting every bit the vote getter he is, he flew, north to cry, "New York, here I come!", on his arrival at La Guardia Airport. Soon caught up in a big civic welcome, he was caressed with rain and ticker tape as he was paraded up Broadway; at a Waldorf...
...year micro-record is a reminder that Americans were offered and bought some odd artifacts-crocodile sofas, mourning handkerchiefs, dog-powered butter churns, solid gold toothpicks with ear-spoon attached, mustache cups ("appropriate gift for the man of elegance") and bosom boards (wooden stiffeners used to shape men's shirts for ironing). In 1905, Sears was offering the "Princess Bust Developer," a bell-shaped cup attached firmly to a handle, and was telling women that IF NATURE HAS NOT FAVORED YOU, the developer would...
...stenographer suffering from "droopy bosom" should never never try to conceal the fact by falling into the posture known as "secretarial slump." The droopy area must instead be frankly and firmly put to rights, not only by "corrective exercises" at home but "on-the-job grooming" during office hours.

As for Anna, nothing like her kind of corset farce has come out of Hollywood since the late Marie Dressier delicately tucked a pint of hooch in her grandmotherly bosom. One moment Actress Magnani comes lurching on-camera as shapeless as a burlap bag full of cantaloupes; the next she is sleazing through the dusk in black lace with the toothsome glitter of a backstreet-walker in Naples. And she battles her way into a girdle of yesteryear with...
...marching up to her suite with $50 worth of groceries in tow. She gave interviews from her bed, her hair like a black dustmop, her bag-rimmed eyes like the burning tips of cigars. Sometimes she actually lit up a small cigar and slunk about the room, her Magnanimous bosom heaving like a passionate surf as she flung out a flood of Italian. When informed that her first U.S. picture would be shown on widescreen, Magnani publicly sneered: "Poof! Widescreen!" When TV came with opulent offers, she recoiled: "Weel I have to hold a bowl of cereal een my hand...
