...from Paradise Isle. The refreshing switch in this latest packet of nonfiction escape literature is that Barbara Hooton thought of Manhattan as paradise and regarded the wide-open spaces as a disease which Hubby Bill had somehow caught. Her account of the running of a New Mexico dude ranch, as breezily set down by her collaborator and longtime friend, Patrick (Auntie Mame) Dennis, might be subtitled "Auntie Mame Rides Again" or "The Comic Labors of Hercules...
...swimming pool, a tennis court and "a couple of smallish private mountains." At $10 a day per paying guest, it was so far from supporting the Hootons that after four days they were $160 in debt. To begin with, the help was a hindrance. For a wrangler, a dude ranch's jack-of-all-trades, they had Curly, "as stunning as a window dummy and every bit as bright." Curly managed to ride his horse into the reservoir, the draining of which cut off the water supply for hours. Barbara, who "didn't know a tsp. from...
Died. Clarence Edward Mulford, 73, prolific author (Bar 20, On the Trail of the Tumbling T), creator of the durable Hopalong Cassidy series; after a chest operation; in Portland, Me.

The fourth of the Dude's eight children, Edward J., attended St. Paul's Parochial Primary School and Rindge Technical High School before a four-year hitch with the Seabees in the Pacific. Later he drove trucks for his father's firm, the M.A. Sullivan Trucking Company, of which he is now general manager. He first ran for office in November 1949, at the age of 28, following his father's death...
...Mickey was not to be stopped that easily. In 1938, he sued the Lampoon for libel and threatened to tear down their Hearst-bequeathed edifice and install Benny Jacobson in its stead. He's a helluva lot funnier than the Lampoon anyway," he said. Along more "serious" lines, the Dude introduced a bill into the council to strike the words "Lenin" and "Leningrad" from all Cambridge library books. Eddic proudly tells anyone who will listen how his father predicted the "notorious spread of Marxism in the University...
