Solution: Cholly walks the plank, Suzy gets full command of the society poop deck, and this week starts a combined column under the new nom de guerre of Suzy Knickerbocker...

"Martinis was like a mad dog," said Journal-American Photographer Seymour Zee, who witnessed the battle...
...Enchame issued a stinging, and dead-serious, rebuke to television. "Commentators spoke in low, vibrato tones to announce the least temperature rise . . . the most insipid details," said the magazine. "All was 'lachryma Christi' of the worst vin tage." In the U.S., on the other hand, New York Journal-American TV Critic Jack O'Brian found coverage "reverent, respectful, thorough and amazingly informative," but he added that it "seemed sacrilegious" when ABC followed a documentary on Pope John with "a fairly revolting fusillade of violently noisy shots at the start of The Rifleman...
