...once again in this land which I have learned so much to love." And as he rode into town with Macmillan, the President saw about him a London that would not change-jodhpur-clad girls riding in Rotten Row; jocular types with pints of bitter outside the Fox and Hound, the Three Kings, the Bunch of Grapes; the predictable athlete pumping along main roads in Kensington, eyes down, elbows high, oblivious to the motorcade...
...flowed as from a well. Then Cinemale Robert Mitchum, in Ireland to star in an Irish Republican Army epic titled A Terrible Beauty, walked in. The facts were hard to come by, but burly (220 Ibs.)

Last week the tuneless terror blew into Hollywood with a $35,000, ten-week contract to make his first movie, Hound Dog Man.

Later, Ike seemed to try to postpone a decision; reports Mazo: "Nixon stiffened and said sternly, 'There comes a time in a man's life when he has to fish...
...years a dog columnist and a roving judge of dog shows, Riddle has been bitten only once, at a show years ago in Tennessee. The offending entry, a basset hound, paid dearly for its bootleg nip: it was disqualified on the spot. Riddle is devoted to man's best friend ("I'm just a sucker for dogs"), but he considers biting (especially Riddle) the unpardonable sin. To a lady asking how to cure her dog of chewing on the baby, Riddle replied tersely: "With a .45 pistol...
