...story of Wheeler's uncivil disobedience unfolded in an air of solemnity as four Air Force officers sat in judgment at U.S. Fifth Air Force headquarters in Fuchu, 19 miles from Tokyo. As everyone knew, the ceremonial Honor Guard, to which Wheeler belonged, was the very model of modern spit and polish: 70 frozen-faced six-footers, strictly disciplined, heads closely cropped, attended by twelve pants-pressers, twelve shoeshine boys, two full-time tailors, and bevies of shy, eye-batting Japanese girls. Yet Airman Wheeler, a rebellious sort who did not like his job anyway, disregarded the orders...
...ancient Hollywood practice, a star is made not just born. Kim Novak herself was virtually invented, the first topflight star ever made strictly to order, for delivery when needed. When Cohn's underlings found her, she was a small-time model, somewhat overweight and so utterly lacking in acting experience that, as one director put it, "she had never even read the funnies out loud."

...first attempt to honor the cowboy painter came a cropper in 1931 when his widow telegraphed Montana's governor that the winning model of the seven submitted in a competition for a statue was "unlike the real Charlie Russell."

Talk of the town: a lighthearted deviation from orthodoxy by one of the founders of abstract expressionism, Robert Motherwell, who is showing 32 line drawings of a nude model. ¶ East Hampton, Long Island's hard-driving avant-garde rival to Provincetown ever since the late Jackson Pollock moved there ten years ago, last week made a bid for more recognition with the opening of the artist-organized Signa Gallery, hurriedly converted from the former Maidstone Market on Main...
...passed away in the midst of a motley family group that included his fourth wife, a former Miss France of 1932; an English model and a French model, each of whom hope to marry one of his sons; and the seven-year-old daughter of Miss Rita Hayworth of Hollywood. His passing was proclaimed in banner headlines in the tabloid press of the great cities of the West and acknowledged with prayers in the hushed mosques of the East...
