...this together--a theater which may well be the best in the country, audiences sitting in the theater and an obligation to please those audiences--and the obstacles in the way of the young and talented become almost insurmountable. Better the dining hall in Lowell House. Better far the cellar room in Massachusetts Hall...
Seven-Year Campaign. Chiffy discovered the delights of his father's cellar, and at 17, he was a problem drinker. One problem led to another. He began to chase chorus girls so enthusiastically that friends changed his nickname from Chiffy to Chippy.

Radio Mambi crows over the U-2 episode: "Any day now, His Majesty Caesar Au gustus Eisenhower I may lose his trousers." In a third-grade Havana classroom last week, when the teacher asked what happened on Feb. 15, 1898. a tiny girl shot back the answer: "The United States blew up the Maine so they could intervene in Cuba." The rest of the "correct" answer: "And most of the crew members were Negroes...
