...Depression, Johnson hit upon the idea of granting franchises for restaurants, rigidly controlling their design and operation, and selling them ice cream and other food made in central commissaries. Today, 311 Howard Johnson restaurants are fully or partly owned by investors, including executives, widows, doctors, and such VIPs as Newshen Marguerite Higgins and North Carolina Governor Luther Hodges...
...Chicago Sun-Times' wandering Newshen Glenna Syse spent 39 minutes with Author James Thurber, left with the conviction that he is "the funniest man alive."

But before long the beauty of Fawzi's plan had turned the meeting into an old-fashioned Arab love feast. ("You could practically smell the camel roasting," cracked one U.S. newshen.) At the end of the session, Lebanese Foreign Minister Charles Malik, who only a week ago was vigorously denouncing the U.A.R. for indirect aggression, impetuously enfolded Fawzi in a bearlike embrace. And two days later, when it came time for formal presentation of the Arab resolution to the Assembly...
