...sultry stage and cinema career after three years of retirement received some nicely timed publicity, courtesy of something called the Artists and Sculptors Institute. Bracketing her with Cinemactresses Lana Turner, Rita Hayworth and Jane Russell, the Institute called Sylvia one of the "most exciting women in the history of motion pictures." Claude Wickard, Secretary of Agriculture, found it was true what they say about eating aboard trains these days. En route to Mexico, unable even to reach the dining car, he sent a telegram ahead to Texas Agriculture Commissioner J. E. McDonald, asked for twelve sandwiches, six pints of milk...
Doris Duke Cromwell picked up where estranged Husband James H. R. ("Jimmy") Cromwell left off in their double-talking divorce marathon, filed a motion in Reno's court seeking to invalidate his New Jersey invalidation of her earlier Nevada divorce (TIME, May 22).

But this time there would be no turning back. Ike's Plan. The plan that General Eisenhower set in motion had its genesis in the dark days after the rescue of the B.E.F. from Dunkirk. Then it was little more than a bulldog determination on the part of Britain to fight on alone, and some day, somehow, to carry the war back to the enemy. Now, after years of training...
Miss Swanson's performance will be a return engagement to the little theatre, as she made her legitimate stage debut at Brattle Hall but two seasons ago. Known to all movie fans from 17 to 70, it was she who introduced glamour to motion pictures. Starting her career in Hollywood with Mack Sennet and Keystone, her first pictures were the bathing-beauty and cop-chasing comedies of the silent picture era. Soon she was working under Cecil B.
