...Pillar of Wisdom. For 25 years Nuri es-Said, who after breaking with the Turks fought heroically beside Lawrence of Arabia in his World War I desert campaigns, has dominated Iraqi politics.

At the last election in 1954, Nuri es-Said and his sheiks obviously had things well under control: on election day, 122 of the 135 parliamentary seats were uncontested.

When the curtain parted to show Hagar sitting on her house steps, feet together, head and shoulders agonizingly tense, the audience burst into applause: Ballerina Kaye created the part...
From Hollywood, garrulous Cinemactress Zsa Zsa Gabor issued one of her regular reports on her pillar-to-post romance with closemouthed Dominican Playboy Porfirio Rubirosa, now listlessly awaiting a Dominican divorce from his fourth wife, Five & Dime Heiress Barbara Mutton. "He is screaming about my career," screamed Zsa Zsa. "Rubi has forced me to choose between him and my career. And now it looks like I'll have to choose my acting . . . I'm in too much of a hurry to become a top actress." Every once in a while, also complained Zsa Zsa, Rubirosa's easygoing...
