...smart sets from Santa Barbara to Long Island, "Louie" Macy is popular. She radiates good spirits, talks well, laughs easily. At 36 she is trim as an athlete. She dresses with elegant plainness -sometimes in colors to match a ginger-brown French poodle which she leads on a pink patent-leather leash. Her dark hair falls in a long bob; her eyes are bright blue, a little gap between two front teeth emphasizes her firm chin and nose...
Bolstering his defense line with reinforcements as fast as careening trucks could take them forward, the Auk hoped for time to prepare for the blow.

Aboard a ferry they chugged peacefully across the river, listening to tug whistles, playing with miniature fish poles, sand pails and shovels, cowboy hats, a live cat and a 2-ft, pink-haired doll named "Betsey...
...general improvement in mental and physical endurance." One man of 75, who for five years could not walk hall a block after lunch without an attack, now walks four or five blocks with no trouble. Others climb several flights of stairs, work longer hours, have a complexion of "healthy pink" instead of grey. The injections of the hormone are so small, said Dr. Hamm, that none of the old men felt any sexual stimulation.
