...Marisol's clever sculpture portrays Hugh Hefner [March 3] just as I see him: an absurd, shallow, gutless, blockheaded monster, definitely having too much of everything while imagining he is the prototype of the All-American male. But have courage, the promise is ever true: "This too shall pass." See! His foot is protruding...
Deadlier than the Male. Bulldog Drummond has led a charmed life, alas. In the early '20s, when he first came to public attention in the novels of Sapper (H. C. McNeile), he was an overblown Blimp who hated "Bolshies" and took peculiar pleasure in flogging "Hebrews."

It came as a revelation, and he wrote an indignant review in the campus humor magazine. "Our moral pretenses," he said, "our hypocrisy on matters of sex, have led to incalculable frustration, delinquency and unhappiness. One of these days," he promised, "I'm going to do an editorial on the subject...
...club is giving Miss Bacall the award "in recognition of her great acting skill and feminine qualities." She first captivated the entire male movie-going public in 1943 when she co-starred with Bogey in To Have and To Have Not. "If you want me, just whistle," she whispered. He did, she did, and the rest is known to any Brattle...
