...life is short-at 30 she may drop overnight from a cover on Vogue to a back page in a mail-order catalogue. Few of her breed are known by name except in the fashion world they rule and serve, and most of those so blessed (Grace Kelly, Suzy Parker, Jane Fonda and, this year, Pamela Tiffin) are quick to grab their identity and take it to Hollywood to see it in neon...
Sonny Rollins was the first improviser to secure a position of respect at all comparable with that of Charlie Parker, the Father of us all.

His peers have scowls that could wither Mao, and their gait is eminently noble. Even more importantly, two of them are excellent comic actors. Mr. David S. Cole is the most susceptible of highly susceptible Chancellors--a perfectly dirty old man, he totters about, ogling near-sightedly at his wards in Chancery, and kicking fretfully at the traces of a ruined dignity...
