Drifting unobtrusively across the country as the guest of the Defense Department, Greece's Ivy Leaguish Crown Prince Constantine, at 18 a second lieutenant in his country's army, navy and air force, paused on a tour of Hollywood's wonders for a chat with veteran Cinemenace Peter Lorre, somewhat whey-faced in his makeup for the role of a clown in MGM's The Big Circus...
...bizarre rite, called the "cinnamon caper," is disdained by Author Gutwillig's hero Tom Freeman, but he and his pals indulge in such mellow old youth-novel capers as fornication, abortion, homosexuality and illicit Negro-white love affairs. These goings-on take place at or near an Ivy Leaguish college named Arden that physically resembles Cornell, but the true locale is hipsterland, and the hero's quest for identity is as manic as if he were looking for a hypodermic needle in a haystack.

A onetime amateur actor, he sometimes rolls off pronouncements with more than a touch of ham. He regularly buys part of his vast wardrobe from Manhattan's Ivy-Leaguish Brooks Brothers...
...interested matrons attended the opening. One, who had often been a spectator in courts, was the prosecutor's trim, Junior-Leaguish wife. The other had never attended a trial. She it was who, in 1903 (year after Thomas Edmund Dewey was born in Owosso, Mich.), as the prettiest girl in Tammany's Eleventh District, married an ambitious young Irish blacksmith, James J. Hines. She appeared in court, flanked by her bulky sons and their pretty-girl wives, only because Jimmy Hines was in the worst trouble of his rough-&-tumble career. Like Mrs. Dewey she went...
