In front of this is a small folding seat for the Pope's secretary. According to Papal Chauffeur Angelo Stoppa: "His Holiness likes...
Mamie Keselenko and Regina Lazar, two mildly adventurous Manhattan schoolteachers on a holiday jaunt to Mexico City, counted themselves very lucky last week when, hardly out of New York harbor on the 5.5. Oriente bound for Havana, they fell in with a voluble group of Manhattan intellectuals. Leader of their new friends was Clifford Odets, able young left-wing author of three (Awake and Sing, Waiting for Lefty, Till the Day I Die) of the twelve plays now running on Broadway. Among Odets' 14 companions were a Brooklyn Congregational minister, two Negroes, a correspondent for The Nation, a national...
