Such film gossipists as Hedda Hopper find themselves devoting increasing space to TV personalities. When the famed old Cocoanut Grove reopened a fortnight ago, the society columns listed as guests George Gobel, Hugh (Wyatt Earp) O'Brian, Art Linkletter, even Milton Berle. Hollywood's own Bastille Day, the annual Oscar awards, is geared completely as a sponsored TV show; except for those in the running for an Oscar, few movie people bother to attend...
Then Edgar began pointing at brother Milton, 57, who is president of Johns Hopkins University, at Eisenhower Adviser Paul Hoffman and at White House Staff Chief Sherman Adams. Said Edgar: "Hoffman's made a flop of everything he ever put his hand to. Adams and I certainly don't see alike. In fact, we rub each other the wrong way, but I think he has tremendous influence with Dwight. I know Dwight listens to him all the time. He's indicated that about Milton too.

...Manhattan office last week, the president and majority stockholder (50.6%) of Marilyn Monroe Productions Inc., tightly surrounded by a grey cashmere sweater and four lawyers, called the stockholders' meeting to order. Opposite President Monroe sat M.M.P.'s vice president and minority stockholder (49-4%), sharp little Photographer Milton H. Greene. The agenda: President Monroe merely wished to elect a new board, and in the process to dump Vice President Greene. In 1954 Marilyn, lonely and self-exiled from Hollywood, was befriended by enterprising Promoter Greene. M.M.P.'s contract called for a pooling of their talents and earnings...
