But not until one evening a fortnight ago did the gaily irresponsible Elsa turn her gusty gall on one of the few name-and-I-droppers in the world who, pound for pound, can outgossip and outfeud her-Walter Winchell. The battle between the titans of Babel began when...
...never been called a monkey," chattered she. "But I've often been called a young whale. Of course, I'm just as much a beast as Farouk is, but I'm naturally so, or at least I hope so!" Have her feelings mellowed toward Fatso? "Humph! This man Farouk is no good at all!" ∙∙∙ Oregon's Democratic Senator Richard Neuberger gallantly suggested that separate but equal "gymnastic and natatorial" facilities be installed in the new Senate Office Building for Maine's Republican Senator Margaret Chase Smith.
