Three years later when tragedy struck - 20-month-old Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. was kidnapped and murdered-newshawks assigned to one of the biggest stories ever to break on Page One felt there was no need to consider Lindbergh's feelings. He did not expect it, but the final act of the tragedy was also his final embitterment. The night after he had identified the body of his son in the Trenton morgue, two photographers got into the building and attempted to take pictures of the body...
Hellzapoppin offers on page 1 a calendar for July, a weather report for August (rain), a picture of a blonde undressing and directions to find page 2. Pages 2 and 3 are mostly margin, "so that NO one can read OVER YOUR SHOULDER!" Page 4 is a set of false whiskers, page 5 a peepshow. Other features: a two-way editorial ("Can this go on? Sure! No!"), a page of letters to readers ("instead of printing letters from readers who tell us how lousy our magazine is"). The back cover, an "acquaintance maker," says: "Yoo hoo! How's about...
...morning after the King and Queen arrived on U. S. soil (see p. 75), the London Times published a 32-page "United States Number" as a supplement to its regular edition.

One of Hollywood's highest-paid writers (The Front Page, Let Freedom Ring, etc.), he forswore 15 months' salary to write it. (His movie salary is around $6,000 a week.) But for Hecht it was "fun writing what I want-without having Sam Goldwyn peering over my shoulder." Fun for Hecht has heretofore meant novels like Erik Dorn, Count Bruga, A Jew in Love-gaudy, swashbuckling, ranting books, splashed with...
Latest of such stories is The Wings of the Morning, a 500-page fantasy by a 28-year-old Englishman who works for a London printing firm, flies a plane, likes good food and wine, fast horses and cars. His first published novel, The Wings of the Morning, tells of a medical genius who becomes equally famed as a best-selling satirist. When his young wife, a beautiful Communist, is killed in an accident, the doctor retires snarling to a cottage, makes friends with a philosopher-cop, gets mixed up in the strange suicide of an egomaniac artist, who personifies...
