Where are Girl-Next-Door June Allyson, Novelist Nelson Algren, Psychologist Erich Fromm, Automation Millionaire John Diebold, Folk Singer Burl Ives and Mr. America himself, Bert Parks? Scrubbed out of the 1973 Celebrity Register, for one thing. Instead, publiciety's decennial Almanach de Gotha includes for the first time Rapist Eldridge Cleaver, Lesbian Jill Johnston, Red Black Angela Davis, Existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, and Senator Thomas Eagleton. For readers anxious to achieve such status, Microsociologist Cleveland Amory, in a foreword to the new edition, passes on some advice. The way to become a celebrity, said Aristotle Onassis, who ought...
East of Eden. 1955 with Raymond Massey, J. Harris Dean, Burl Ives, directed by Elia Kazan. James Dean's best performance in which his capacity for portraying a rebel youth is fully used, unlike the more acclaimed Rebel Without a Cause, which was a spinoff of Brando's prototypical 50's motiveless wandervogel in The Wild One.

The crowd of people encircling him joined in the chorus, "I ain't gonna to study war no more..." He then veered to the original version, "I'm gonna kiss every doggone girl, down by the riverside," and proceeded to kiss and be kissed by every doggone man, woman and child around him. Nearby, a middle-aged couple carried a sign with the words BREAD NOT BOMBS, and handed out free chunks of home-made rye bread...
...Roof. Richard Brooks directed and adopted the Tennessee Williams play for the screen. Perfectly cast, with Paul Newman as Brick, an honorable but emasculated cripple, Elizabeth Taylor as his frustrated wife Maggie (the cat), and Burl Ives as his father Big Daddy, whose death and inheritance all the family save Brick and Maggie yearn for. One of the more palatable of the Williams films, and Brook's best...
