...thereabouts, he got the famous blue-and-white zebra-striped upholstery, the potted palms, and a publicity agent thrown in to make weight. But John Mills, 50, a wartime Polish commando, doesn't really need him: as soon as he bought Manhattan's El Morocco (from Edwin Perona, son of the late founder), dozens of friends dropped by for a toot, from venturesome capitalists like Sherman Fairchild to Cinemactress Merle Oberon. After all, Mills already runs a triple-barreled London establishment (casino, nightclub, restaurant) that is loaded with big game, including Prince Philip and the Sheik of Kuwait...

Three leaders, Nkrumah of Ghana, Ben Bella of Algeria and Hassan II of Morocco, had refused in July to sit with Tshombe at a meeting of the Organization of African Unity.

The Prime Minister cabled back: STRENGTH OF ROCK APE PACK TO BE KEPT UP AT ALL COST. It was - and the cost was high indeed. For every ape smuggled onto the Rock by Franco's soldiery, the British handed over...
...through the prejudices of a spinster librarian in Humboldt, Kans. Last week's story was all about a bright-eyed girl from the Midwest (Tuesday Weld) who arrived in New York and within a week was eating kickapoo pills given her by a thug in El Morocco. Ironically enough, the series was created by the man who wrote Born Yesterday, Broadway Playwright-Director Garson Kanin. His hero, played by Craig Stevens, is a press-agent who calls Kilgallen before he calls the police. The show is nervously edited and stuffed with cameo appearances by Leonard Lyons and Oleg Cassini...
