Four recent libel suits did not faze Confidential magazine (TIME. July 11) and caused no change in its up-from-the sewer journalistic formula of sex and sin. But in Washington last month, Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield threw a scare into the magazine that rattled every skeleton in its closet; he barred Confidential from the mails after a "number of complaints." Post Office officials objected to among other things, a racy description of a stripteaser's gyrations and a "questionable cheesecake photograph of Hollywood Starlet Terry Moore.

...great thing about Walter Alston is that he endures. The Bronx cheers of second-guessing fans bounce off his hide, and needling from his limber-lipped predecessor Charlie Dressen does not faze him at all.

Four years ago, after her husband became governor of Oklahoma, Mrs. Johnston Murray complained that her swollen right hand was nearly paralyzed from shaking hands with more than 100,000 persons along the campaign trail. But that was nothing to faze red-haired Willie (Roberta) Murray. No sooner was she well settled in the governor's mansion than she started holding weekly open houses, standing at the front door and clicking off (on a counter concealed in her left hand) the assorted Indians, oil drillers and schoolmarms who trooped past. By last count. Willie's tabulation had passed...
