...With the glow of Florida sunshine on his cheeks, Harry Truman returned to Washington last week for a one-night stand: a speech at a Woman's National Democratic Club banquet. "Mrs. Truman . . . made this engagement for the two of us," he explained, "and when I have a date with Mrs. Truman, I usually keep it." He hurried through dinner like a man anxious to do his duty and get back to the sunshine...
Wobbling Sphinxes. To build the new production of Verdi's triumphal tragedy of the Nile, Bing had brought in the same crack team that gave Verdi's Don Carlo a new glow last season: Broadway's Maggie Webster and Designer Rolf Gerard. They soon found out what everyone from Bing to Conductor Fausto Cleva definitely did not want: "All those wobbling sphinxes, painted canvas temples, unrehearsed supers in ridiculous costumes, and four-footed beasts."

Darkness closed in along the neat cement walks separating the rows of bungalows where they had lived. The only sounds in the deserted...

In the '20s, Lane was ad manager for Meredith Publications (Better Homes & Gardens) when he came across Sunset, then a money-losing literary magazine with about 60,000 readers. Lane bought Sunset for $60,000, and turned it into a regional how-to-do-it magazine on gardening, building, decorating, food, travel, etc. Sunset ignored Hollywood, fashions and the movies. Says Lane: "We couldn't compete with the national magazines on things like movies, and they...
