...character named Lorraine Sheldon swirled onstage in the second act of The Man Who Came to Dinner, gaudy in mink, black satin, and black mesh stockings. "Sherry, my sweet," cooed Lorraine to the bewhiskered leading man. "Oh, darling! Look at that poor, sweet, tortured face! Let me kiss it." After that entrance it was hard to believe the program. The seductively feline manner and the shapely, shaved legs (badly nicked by a dressing-room razor) of Lorraine Sheldon belonged to an actor named T. (for Thomas) C. (for Craig) Jones...
...deputy left, and Earl Long, 63, stood alone in a simple white room whose window was guarded with heavy wire mesh. Outside, the corridor was kept locked at both ends, and close by, within a moment's call, were two male nurses. Earl Long, serving for the third time (1939-40, 1948-52, 1956-60) as one of the most powerful and certainly one of the most controversial Governors of any U.S. state, drifted aimlessly around, strolled up and down the corridor, babbling endlessly to himself.

Both an equipment maker (filters, pumps) and a pool builder, Paddock was taken over in January by Refinite Corp., a small Midwest poolmaker whose aggressive president, Charles A. Spaulding Jr., has streamlined operations at Paddock. From a loss last year on sales of $7,968,905, Paddock expects to be well in the black in 1959 on sales of more than $10 million...
...leered the London Daily Herald. LEGS, panted the Daily Mail. What excited Fleet Street was a novel slice of cheesecake: pert, serious Cinemactress Vivien Leigh, wife of Sir Laurence Olivier, and a grandmother at 45. Last week trim Lady Olivier slipped on a red satin bathing suit and black mesh stockings, made a slinky, twittery TV debut as Sabina, the talkative, never-say-die seductress-maid in Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth. Critical verdict: Vivien once more proved that good legs are a ho-hum show's best means of support...
