...which Mr. Universe had husked to her, twice nightly, the vintage tune Everything I Have Is Yours. Mae's beefcake troupe rolled on to Washington, D.C., and there the backstage tensions erupted last week at a 'tween-shows press conference. Scarcely had the interview begun when Biceps Boy (212 Ibs.) Chuck Krauser, Mr. California, took exception to Mickey's remarks and belabored Mr. Universe's face, mousing his left eye and dazing him.

A onetime neighborhood playmate remembered Virginia well: "She had a good imagination. I always thought she could write a book...
Alsop pursued the contrasts to Dhahran, where Saudi Arabian workmen drew top pay as technicians at Aramco's vast refinery while some of their countrymen bought and sold slaves ($150 for an able-bodied man, $300 for a boy and $600 for a girl). Though he reported that King Saud was using his U.S. oil dollars to finance Arab nationalism's whole anti-Western drive-paying some $500,000 a month to politicians and editors in the Middle East-Alsop found him playing the role reluctantly, the captive of the movement centering in Egypt...
