Since 1940 I have received screen credits-for Waterloo Bridge, Mrs. Miniver, Random Harvest, Command Decision, and others-most of them favorably reviewed by TIME, yet my name was never mentioned. The same omission occurs in your Sept. i review of Me and the Colonel. The screenplay was written by S. N. Behrman and myself. Forgive my vanity, but tell your readers of my existence...
...Such a nice family," decided Staten Island neighbors soon after Dr. and Mrs. Melvin Nimer summer-rented the red brick and grey shingle house at 242 Vanderbilt Avenue. Not that neighbors saw Dr. Nimer much; he was busy as a new resident in surgery at the massive (800-bed) U.S. Public Health Service Hospital three blocks away, overlooking lower New York Harbor. But vivacious Loujean Nimer, like her husband 31 years old, was friendly. So were crew-cut Melvin Jr., 8, toddling Gregory, 2, and even five-month-old Jennifer, born shortly before the Nimers came east from Phoenix. Such...
...Angeles last week, Mrs. Rhoda Borgnine got a divorce from Ermes Effron Borgnine on grounds of mental cruelty. The settlement gave Rhoda $2,000 a month alimony, the custody of their six-year-old daughter, a $53,000 insurance policy on her ex-husband's life and the house in Van Nuys.

After four puzzling days, a sharp-eyed pathologist found four injection marks in Mrs. Barlow's buttocks, two on each side. From each site he removed part of the underlying tissue for analysis, suspecting insulin. Barlow's boast had been half right: insulin is almost impossible to detect. But by extraordinarily ingenious methods described in the British Medical Journal, the drug sleuths found a way to prove that there...
...gives the youngster the idea that she would be doing everyone a favor by pouring an occasional bottle of liquor down the drain. This policy reaches a hilarious climax one night when Amy's father barks at a prim, sleep-dazed old lady babysitter: "You must be stinking, Mrs. Henlein . . . You drank a full quart of gin." When his little girl tries to run away from home, the father, who is always going off on business trips, wonders how he can teach her that home is best and blood is thicker than firewater...
