My God, I'll bet there were 40 Midwesterners lined up to be in a picture who wouldn't have been seen dead with him a year ago." Baffling Fact. Flying back to Albany in his private...

Armed with false courage and the recommendations of a cartoonist friend named Gerry Grosvenor, Ginger applies to the Montreal Tribune to become a Gentleman of the Press. But brrrr-tongued Managing Editor MacGregor, nicknamed Hitler by his staff, believes in starting everyone at the bottom, proofreading the galleys. On his night-shift "galley-slave" wages, Ginger cannot actually support his wife and teen-age daughter. To his disgust, Veronica gets a millinery job; to his shock, she leaves...
