Universal-International is planning to film the book in Thailand, and harried ICA pressmen can already visualize reaction of worldwide movie audiences to an almond-eyed Elizabeth Taylor or Kim Novak being pushed around by a bumptious young U.S. foreign aid boy abroad, a banality-mouthing U.S. Senator in Asia, or a potty U.S. ambassador. The moviemakers are asking for State Department cooperation, and ICA is opposed...
...city-room earthquake rocked the morning San Francisco Chronicle, and 38 staffers disappeared from view, including Boy Wonder Editor Paul Smith (TIME, Dec. 22, 1952).

...myth runs equally well in the opposite direction. Well known at Radcliffe is the song about the poor girl who wrote a thesis for some boy each year for three years, only to be "dropped" as soon as her typewriter-weary fingers turned over the black-covered masterpieces. A familiar scene around the Quad, come examination period, is a harried-looking Harvard student coming to get reading and/or lecture notes from a willing Cliffe amanuensis...
