...Artie Shaw, the former MES. Stephen Crane (twice), the former Mrs. Bob Topping, the former Mrs. Lex ("Tarzan") Barker-better known to millions as Cinemactress Lana Turner. Lana Turner had a daughter, Cheryl, to whom she gave gifts, money, luxurious living, exclusive schooling-everything, in fact, except a normal upbringing...
...Castro sticks to his schedule, the normal round of pre-Easter holy days and holidays will give him a natural assist in closing down the country. The rebel chieftain has long delayed his big move in the hope of winning over enough of organized labor, still officially pro-Batista, to ensure the strike's success.

To keep him up to date, he would want a 204-page catalog published monthly by William Schwann of Boston. In the ten years since LPs started flooding the market, the Schwann Long Playing Record Catalog has become a fascinating indication of music consumption in the vinyl era. Last week...
