Free for All. In his new job, Mr. Elliott got off to a good start. He buttered up labor by arranging to consult with it-along with industry. He pleased factory owners by denouncing any scheme to protect competitive positions, i.e., prevent one plant from resuming civilian manufacture because a competitor was still doing war work. Small factories, which got a jackal's share of war contracts, are apparently to have the lion's share of the job of supplying U.S. civilians until...
Rotary Reconstructed. To get a line on Schireson, the Record sent a patient to consult him about making her neck prettier. She found a "heavyset man, sixtyish in appearance, dressed in youthful tweeds. His ready smile revealed excellent bridge-work." He said that a neck treatment would merely give her "a perfect neck, a throat of vibrant youth, topped by an aged face."

All such faults, he assured the Senators, have been...
Batting Average .800. It is the same higher up. Lolly Parsons can reach any studio executive in Hollywood within five minutes. The rumor that the great stars consult her before conceiving a child may be one of many malicious exaggerations. But it is the sort of poetic license that characterizes a legendary career. Louella Parsons may not have the biggest circulation of any syndicated film columnist. Erskine Johnson, Robbin Coons and Lolly's famed rival Hedda Hopper, all probably outcirculate her. But she gets a minimum 2,000 fan letters a week, and in lush seasons...
