...mysterious to those who feel the pressure of his vermiform "journalism." Of late weeks, he has been relentlessly worming away at a little-known Manhattan restaurant called Chandler's. According to Winchell, the place is a "gyp joint" run by gougers and chiselers. Stork Clubber Winchell has never been seen in Chandler's himself, but in the past three weeks he has extruded no less than twelve items, even repeating one attack three times. Last week Chandler's owners retorted with a $1,000,000 libel suit against Winchell, the Hearst Corp. and King Features, which distributes...
There was a private hearing in which Jockey-Clubber William Woodward spent most of the time asking what hop Tom had given Seabiscuit to make him run so fast. There were many public hearings which convinced Owner Arden, and most of the racegoing public, that Tom had used ephedrine only to stop a horse's head cold, that it was no "hop."

He never missed a Christmas party; when he died in 1938 he left the club $500 towards the party's upkeep, plus his "pictures, sketches and studio effects." Last week this apparently inconsiderable be quest turned out to be a windfall. In his studio's litter was a small oil painting on a wooden panel, signed H. D., and titled (by Hasselbusch) Conjugal Parisiene (sic). Joyful experts identified it as one of famed Lithographer Honore Daumier's rare paintings. The Sketch Club banked...
...last week, SEC had got to the point in its Washington hearing of parading priests, housewives, and the manager of Harvard's Fly Club, all Hutton customers, to tell how they had made and lost money in Tack. Fly Clubber James Corcoran dealt from Boston with W. E. Hutton II, wiring him on one occasion: "I am sitting on 700 tacks. Where do I get off?" Partner Hutton got him off 600 Tacks at a profit of $2,400. The other customers questioned were those of Jerry McCarthy, a customers' man in Hutton's Detroit office...
