...bang-up day in tiny (pop. 1,827) Brandon, Miss. Back from her triumphs in Yankeeland, back for the flashbulbs, the high-school bands, the parades and the sorghum-sweet welcome, came the local girl who had made good: willowy, winsome Mary Ann Mobley, 21, Miss America of 1958. Throughout the weekend celebrations in Jackson, Vicksburg and Brandon, Mary Ann smiled graciously, accepted tokens of esteem (including TV sets and a dozen hams), broke down when she saw that Brandon had renamed Main Street as Mary Ann Brive...
Peripatetic Bemocrat Adlai Stevenson, arriving in San Francisco to do some political hustling for fellow Bemocrats, did his spent best to hush up any 1960 talk about himself for, say, the presidency.

Then Cookie ships out for convoy duty, and Griffith finds himself heating up both the gal and the gallery...
What may become a decisive case in defining freedom of the press was begun by a pretty brunette who said no. The girl: Marie Torre, 34, middle-browed radio and TV columnist of the New York Herald Tribune. A federal court in New York City asked her to name the "CBS spokesman" she quoted as saying that Singer Judy Garland "doesn't want to work . . . because something is bothering her [and] I wouldn't be surprised if it's because she thinks she's terribly fat." The three-man U.S. Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that...
