Despite the grandeur of its funereal appetites, Hollywood is always graceless and uneasy inside its mourning clothes. Its undertakers are suntanned. Its dead lie listening to Muzak in poets' nooks. Its grief requires CinemaScope-so big, so awful, so thrilled with guilt. When Marilyn Monroe was buried last week in Los Angeles, Hollywood's heavy embrace was forcefully restrained, but there was little mercy in its absence.

Replying a week later, mischievous Satirist Evelyn Waugh, 59, penned his own modest proposal to the lord.

They are now held up continuously to hatred and contempt in newspapers and on the stage of this kingdom. I trust that Lord Walston's proposed act will make it criminal...
