...keeping with his restless nature, Hilton is particularly fond of making flying visits to his chain or searching out new hotel sites. He scrambled like a mountain goat over Rome's Monte Mario to pick out just the right spot for the Cavalieri Hilton, declared with the spirit of a Medici commissioning a palace that he wanted it to be "a balcony of flowers overlooking Rome." Whenever Hilton appears at one of his hotels, the staff jumps to give him royal treatment-and sometimes stumbles. His bathtub at the New York Hilton was cracked, and at the Waldorf recently...
...issued anyway. Rudolf Schock made the biggest gain among tenors (14 to 38), but it must give him an edgy feeling to see that Enrico Caruso, silent these many years, is right behind him, having posthumously grown in popularity from 20 to 36, thanks to reissues of old recordings. Mario Del Monaco is the most recorded tenor with 39, Fernando Corena the most recorded basso (38), and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, with an astonishing jump from 46 to 82 recordings, the busiest baritone...
...from Mulattoes. The rival rebel groups, both based across the border in the Congolese capital of Leopoldville, often seem more intent on destroying each other than the Portuguese. The Popular Movement for Liberation of Angola (M.P.L.A.) is led by smooth.

Andrade, who, like most of Salazar's foes, is often denounced...

Hardfisted Deputy Mario Scelba declared Red success "is the fruit of our mistakes and not of the superiority of Communist ideals." Scelba and others of the center and right strongly oppose a continuance of the apertura a sinistra, the so-called opening to the left, initiated last year by Fanfani when he formed his alliance with Pietro Nenni's Socialists. Trouble is, no other alliance seems feasible...
...readers who like to hoard their Hollywood gleanings like green stamps, Hedda has a wildly scattershot collection: Clark Gable had not a tooth of his own in his head; Sinatra, Jerry Lewis and Doris Day all shower at least three times a day; Mario Lanza roamed the streets of Beverly Hills at night in his Cadillac to batter down the mailbox of a movie mogul he thought had betrayed him; Harry Cohn broke up the romance of Sammy Davis Jr. and Kim Novak by having a thug threaten to work Sammy over. And if such racy bits never appeared...
