...Geronimo, whose life is an encouraging story. He led Apaches on the warpath three times over a span of thirty years before surrendering to General Miles on September 4, 1886. But after that Geronimo reconciled his lot. He became a Christian and joined the Dutch Reform Church. He attended the St. Louis World's Fair and the Buffalo and Omaha Expositions. Geronimo rode in the inaugural parade of President Theodore Roosevelt...
There was Walter Matthau playing top banana on the set of Paramount's A New Leaf, clowning around between takes in a fright wig that combined the best of Geronimo with the worst of Phyllis Diller. But once the cameras start rolling, insists Walter, he is strictly supporting cast for the film's director, scriptwriter and female lead. And who might they be?

Last week, however, the view was to the past rather than the future, and few could help but marvel...
...Guests are flown in aboard Mrs. Post's 16 passenger Viscount, the Merriweather, then transported by limousine, launch and canopied cable car to her rustic aerie. The living room is furnished with stuffed bears, a cigar-store Indian, beaded rugs, totems, the war bonnets of Sitting Bull and Geronimo-all of which takes two servants four hours to dust. Each guest is assigned a cabin with one butler and one maid...
