...grateful to their kind mama and stepfather for the 14-week treat in 1951 that they pasted up a scrapbook of Jackie's curlicued drawings and rhymes and Lee's stories, which they entitled One Special Summer. "We are not the Bronte sisters," admits Lee in the foreword to the book, which has been discovered among family memorabilia and is being excerpted in the November Ladies' Home Journal.

...Celebrity Register, for one thing. Instead, publiciety's decennial Almanach de Gotha includes for the first time Rapist Eldridge Cleaver, Lesbian Jill Johnston, Red Black Angela Davis, Existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, and Senator Thomas Eagleton. For readers anxious to achieve such status, Microsociologist Cleveland Amory, in a foreword to the new edition, passes on some advice. The way to become a celebrity, said Aristotle Onassis, who ought to know, "is to get to control the people's playthings. The moment I bought Monte Carlo and controlled the most famous casino in the world, I became...
