...TIME [Sept. 20] there is an article about "Bootsie" (Mrs. McDonnell Cassini Hearst) which goes on to say that she has welcomed another newcomer to the Hearst fold . . . You state that the column is ghostwritten. I write my own column. I do not have a ghost writer.

But now the lid was off: Washington newsmen expected Bootsie to be syndicated throughout the Hearst chain. And fellow gossip Danton...
Married. William Randolph Hearst Jr., 41, balding second of The Chief's five sons, publisher of the New York Journal-American; and Austine ("Bootsie") McDonnell Cassini, 28, the Washington Times-Herald's modish society gossipist; he for the third time, she for the second; in Warrenton, Va.
