Ticker-Tape Triumph. Two years ago Roger left Bernay once more-bound, he said, for some great shooting matches in Chicago and New York. He returned with a lyric description of the ticker-tape reception accorded him on New York's lower Broadway. "Never," he said, "shall I forget that delirious welcome," and the applause that greeted the words in Bernay was deafening. After that, it was a cinch. On Sept. 15, 1954, officials announced that "for 25 years' activity in the field of sport," Roger Touchard had been named Chevalier of the Legion of Honor...
...spoofing. In its tale of a fanatical Soviet woman commissar-who on a mission to Paris responds to French life and American love-there are brighter lines than in most musicals. There are two or three good Cole Porter tunes, and now and then a good Cole Porter lyric. As Ninotchka, Cinemactress Hildegarde Neff is exotic and pleasing enough to get by without a voice; as Ninotchka's Hollywood agent of a beau, oldtime Cinemactor Don Ameche has an excellent voice and everything else to match.

The audiophile's only prescription for a cure: get a high-fidelity...
...Harvard graduate who scouts the society pages for the names of new brides and phones them from pay booths at 4 a.m., a seven-foot Santa Claus who tampers with little girls. Author Bourjaily (whose first novel, The End of My Life, was hailed by some critics for its "lyric emotion") evidently has some method behind all this distasteful madness: he tries to show that the times are out of joint. But by the time King Al No. - 1 is put behind bars, it is clear that the dirty tricks that life has played on him cannot compare...
