...contemporary writer. His "High Building In Singapore" anecdote is so similar to incidents in Salinger that it seems like emotional plagiarism. In Buddy Glass's epic letter to his brother Zooey in Franny and Zooey he describes a similar encounter with a little girl who was standing at the lamb chop counter with her mother...
Like oracles reading the entrails of the lamb, politicians of all persuasions will dissect the results of next week's big-city mayoralty races. Some of the elections may produce portents of next year's national politics.

...pints of cream to feed the guests and their legions of attendants. The menu for the main banquet was up to the occasion: quail eggs stuffed with caviar (the only Iranian dish on the menu); a mousse of crayfish tails in Nantua sauce; stuffed rack of roast lamb and, as a main course, a traditional medieval dish: roast peacock stuffed with foie gras.

Died. Dr. Paul Niehans, 88, the Swiss surgeon who won both reputation and fortune by trying to lead his celebrity patients to the fountain of youth; in Montreux, Switzerland. In 1931 Niehans developed his so-called "cellular therapy," in which particles of lamb embryos were injected into the patient; he claimed that the treatment would retard the aging process, and cure almost everything from homosexuality to heart disease. Though viewed with suspicion by many fellow doctors, Niehans counted among his grateful patients Pope Pius XII and Gloria Swanson...
