Partisans on the other side are equally outspoken. They range from Chicago's Syndicated Lovelornist Ann Landers, an all-out advocate of home shelters, to President John Kennedy. Said Kennedy in a July 25 television speech to the nation: "To recognize the possibilities of nuclear war in the missile age without our citizens' knowing what they should do and where they should go would be a failure of responsibility." In the coming months, he said, the U.S. Government would undertake to "let every citizen know what steps he can take without delay to protect his family in case...
...gorge of Al Ricketts' readers is forever rising. Of the Pacific Stars and Stripes columnists, who include Walter Lippmann, Joseph Alsop, Red Smith and Lovelornist Abigail Van Buren, the most widely read by far is Ricketts, a Buddha-shaped (5 ft. 4 in., 175 Ibs.) 32-year-old who chomps a long black cigar with a ferocity suggestive of filmdom's bad guy, Edward G.

She also explained that she has steadily rebuffed all approaches from TV because "overexposure in any way is bad." Why does she keep going back to Las Vegas? "Money [$30,000 a week]." How does she manage to go on looking...
...some 80 U.S. newspapers, from New York's garter-snapping Daily Mirror (circ. 842,023) to the sobersided Portland Oregonian (181,910), only a dozen fewer syndicate clients than carry sister Ann Landers, whose real name is Mrs. Jules ("Eppie") Lederer.
