...judge of my horror when I saw the President unbutton his clothes and heard him say, 'We had better strip, so as not to wet our things in the Creek.' Then I, too, for the honor of France, removed my apparel, everything except my lavender kid gloves. The President cast an inquiring look at these as if they, too, must come off, but I quickly forestalled any remark by saying, 'With your permission, Mr. President, I will keep these on; otherwise it would be embarrassing if we should meet ladies.' And so we jumped into...
Personal-File Tragedy. The text for Black's speeches was a Stanford student's personal file, the dry paper chronology of what Black called one of the saddest stories he had ever seen: a parent pushing his son toward a prestige college so hard that the kid broke down.

But winning her hand is quite another matter. Big Brother draws the color line, and when Darren tries to cross it, he just happens to fall on a knife that Heston just happens to be holding...
...Pounds of Trouble. "Muddah, when I grow wup I'm gung to be like Gary Grant." It isn't easy to be like Gary Grant, especially for a kid from The Bronx, but Bernie Schwartz meant business. At 22 he changed his name to Tony Curtis and copped a one-line bit in a B movie. "Woo, woo!" was all he said, but the second they saw him a million bobby-soxers said the same. Tony was short (5 ft. 8 in.), dark and pretty. His hair was a mass of kiss curls, his lips were...
