...comic strip, Dick Tracy. There was Pruneface, a dead ringer for an exhumed cadaver; the Mole, a homicidal man-sized rodent who lived in a burrow; Itchy, who never stopped scratching; Measles, whose complexion resembled an aerial view of the Badlands; and, of course, that bottomless well of chaw juice, B. O. Plenty. Latest entry is Flyface, whose face is always surrounded by flies-and who has a mother and a nephew similarly convoyed. Last week this unsavory trio, causing many an editor to wince, got to be too much for the Atlanta Constitution, one of Tracy...
...Scrappy, chaw-jawed Second Baseman Nellie Fox, 31, whose slick fielding (.988) and slap-hitting (.306; two home runs, 149 singles) led the Chicago White Sox to their first pennant in 40 years, won the American League's most-valuable-player award of the Baseball Writers' Association. The National League's MVP: Slugging Shortstop Ernie Banks, 28, of the fifth-place Chicago Cubs, who led the majors in runs batted in (143), finished second in the majors in home runs (45), set a league fielding record for shortstops (.985), became the first player ever...

William Demarest manages to wear a week's grizzle, chaw the plug and prospect for laughs without sounding too much like Gabby Hayes. And William Holden again suggests that he is the most versatile leading man in Hollywood. In the last year he has played, and played well, a carefree young worldling (The Moon Is Blue), a heel with...
There'll Be No Changes Made. Poor Frances Trollope took a terrible beating from this nation of officers and gentlemen. Chomping their chaw-packed jaws and deluging her skirts with a running fire of mis-spits, they haw-hawed at the Royal Navy, punched King George in the snoot and tossed Britain (as Cincinnati tossed its garbage) out into the street. When Mrs. Trollope gently hinted at the "total and universal want of manners, both in males and females," she was either assured that the rudeness in question was a local "peculiarity" ("You know so little of America...
Said one top G.O.P. congressional leader, pulling a twist of metaphor from his pocket and biting off a big chaw: "The President has been having a great time twisting our tails, and now by God we're going to do some twisting on his. Let's see him take it a while and see how he likes it. We've got some pretty good ones cranked up and we're going to belt him with them before the session is over...
