Her scoops are modest ones, and generally unidentifiable as such without the "exclusive" label that Hearst sometimes attaches to her copy, e.g., a Marianne story last month reporting that key Republicans, specifically Minority Leaders Dirksen and Halleck. had "pledged to support President Kennedy's present policy on Cuba...
...flustered, Newshen McClendon named William Arthur Wieland and J. Clayton Miller-two State Department aides who, far from working in the sensitive Office of Security, hold routine administrative jobs in State's Office of Management.

Writing to help support her two children by an early, unsuccessful marriage, the pretty young newshen in her column denounces governmental corruption, ridicules its foreign policies, champions women's rights, favors birth control, blames the Latins' concept of manhood for the evils of prostitution, campaigns against poverty, slums, alcoholism and juvenile delinquency. Naturally her column, entitled "Lo que los otros callan" (What others won't say), is read with...
