...financial columnist for the Boston Post, Washington Waters often sounds like an irrepressible optimist. "The stock market," says his column, "may truly be a kind of Aladdin's lamp which will produce great riches for those who know how to rub it." But the rub, as Washington Waters is well aware, is knowing how. Waters knows. He is one of the few financial columnists in the world who can write about the stock market that way with real authority. By rubbing the lamp the right way himself, he has amassed a fortune of $20 million plus in stocks...
...Betty Furness was mentioned and some of the latest kitchen marvels described, including a new super-automatic range "which will preserve even the newest bride from cooking disasters."

For six years the same picture of Frank Kingdon, a onetime Methodist minister, has illustrated his "To Be Frank" column in the tabloid, New York Post, it was the likeness of a mildly balding, clean-shaven man in his 40s. Last week Dr. Kingdon, 59, decided to be frank about his looks. Without warning to the readers, the Post overnight changed photographs, used a new one of a bald, bearded and much older man (see cuts...
Carl Victor Little has been a triple-threat man on the Press. Besides his daily column, he writes a weekly book review section, and until recently (when his health gave way) also edited the editorial page. A graduate of Ohio State, Little broke in on the Cleveland Press, went to France in World War I as a swivel-chair sergeant, came home to a restless career as a tramp newspaperman. Recalls Little: "Some copyreader or some louse of an editor would get rough with my magnificent prose, and I'd feel in my pocket to see how much dough...
