...business it could handle; the cafeteria was jammed. At the television sets in the lounge, a large cosmopolitan-looking crowd watched the antics of two children's puppets named Foodini and Pinhead, later switched to the ball game at the Yankee Stadium. Weary John Chang went to sleep sitting up on a couch near the bar, his chin resting on his briefcase...
...talk about food in the U.S., by an Austrian woman who had married a G.I. She spoke lyrically of the cosmopolitan variety of the U.S. menu ("Goulash, Wiener Schnitzel, stuffed peppers, Linzer tart . . ."), and made an announcement that might start a major revolution in Vienna: "I frequently make Apfelstrudel, but I don't have to knead the dough myself-I buy it all ready.

Cosmopolitan decided to use the word deletion in parentheses. Sample edited Hemingway line: "Every time you shoot now can be the last shot and no stupid (deletion) should be allowed to ruin...
...most unusual feature of Saroyan's sound-off is his announcement of how much money he has already made from selling The Assyrian's contents to magazines-$8,300. Of this sum he got $5,000 from Cosmopolitan for The Cocktail Party and $3,000 from the Saturday Evening Post for The Pheasant Hunter. Most of the other stories he could not sell at all, but three of them he let go free to a magazine apparently close to his Anatolian-American heart: The Armenian Review.
