...recipes appear like floating islands, in no particular order. Her own recipe for striped bass, for instance, was worked out when she made lunch for Artist Pablo Picasso. He "exclaimed at its beauty" and modestly protested that it should have been created in honor of Matisse instead. In Palma de Mallorca, a French cook almost started a riot in the market place by showing Alice how to smother pigeons (the cook said it made them fuller and tastier). The information came in handy when Alice fixed some braised pigeons on croutons for Gertrude, using six "sweet young corpses" choked...
...Yorkers jammed out to watch the Vanderbilt Cup races on Long Island. In the Vanderbilt were such car names, now dim, as Pope-Toledo, Darracq, Simplex and Locomobile, such still familiar ones as Mercedes and Fiat.

Outstanding novelty: Singer-Pianist Mason, usually typed as a glowering heavy, blithely crooning a sophisticated ditty which goes, in part...
Tony Bettenhausen, who was born the year after De Palma won the Indianapolis Speedway classic in 1915, is becoming something of a classic himself. By last week, he was well on his way to winning U.S. racing's most coveted trophy: the national championship diamond ring awarded annually by the American Automobile Association for the series of races (13 this year) that begins at Indianapolis and will wind up on Armistice...
