...William Edward Vaughan, a floor-pacing, pipe-cleaning, book-thumbing, paper-clip-twiddling fidgeter, is already something of an anachronism. Vaughan writes "paragraphs" for the Kansas City, Mo.. Star (circ. 337,482); he practices a journalistic style so obscure that no one knows who invented it. So rare is the professional paragrapher that Vaughan is occasionally credited with being the last of the breed. He is not. But he is probably the best of a tiny handful of newsmen-among them the Cowles papers' Fletcher Knebel and Hearst's Bugs Baer-who still work...
Getting a Facelift. Hotels, receiving reservation requests at a 10,000-a-week clip, were already nearly sold out for the three summer months. By last week advance sales of tickets had topped $700,000. In the shadow of Queen Anne Hill, on a 74-acre tract of land, fair buildings were rising dramatically. For Seattle, the experience was like that of the perennial wallflower who suddenly finds herself the belle of the ball. The town was mostly pleased, but partly dazed-and just a mite suspicious.

High School dance band, with a harmony group for the Elks Club. Finally came the Big Audition-with Tommy Oliver's band at the Deauville country club in Santa Monica, and the Big Click. A demonstration disk played for Warner Bros. record company resulted in her first album, Positively the Most, a title artfully designed to rhyme with Drost. But Joanie had already decided the Drost...
...impeccable family had always confined its patronage to the National League. Single instance of backsliding: "The time that Wheaties was running a most-popular-player contest. Mother [the late Mrs. Payne Whitney] called the cook and asked her please to buy lots of Wheaties for the children and to clip the box tops so she could vote for Joe DiMaggio...
Robinson learned his lesson well. He began hitting at a furious clip, ranked among National League leaders in home runs and runs batted in for most of the season. Robinson slumped badly at the plate in the final weeks (World Series batting average: .200), but he still wound up hitting .323, and his timely slugging helped Cincinnati win its first pennant in 21 years. Last week, polling 15 out of 16 votes, he won the National League's Most Valuable Player award...
