...crusade, drove out for a weekend at his country home in Connecticut. There, behind the wheel of his 1950 Jaguar sedan (Conn, license ITU-for Inviting the Undertaker), with his wife at his side. Cartoonist Batchelor ran head-on into real-life inspiration for his 1,002nd traffic cartoon...
...Walter Terry, the New York Herald Tribune's dance critic, invited to cover the performance, recalled that a toe dancer named Mile. Celeste had danced en pointe for an enchanted Andrew Jackson in the Cabinet Room in 1836 and had become a political cause celebre (an anti-Jackson cartoon implying frivolity in high places was titled "The Celeste-al Cabinet'').

She goes through the show in reliably firm control. And she has mastered the art of gesture, and of moving--whether it be simply walking or a waltz or a Latin American rump-shaker. Vocally, she is not yet a hundred per cent effective; but she gets a good deal out of her monumental...
