Despite censorship by an overzealous P.I.O., word leaked out of some of hip-flipping Crooner Elvis Presley's activities at Fort Hood, Texas. He has advanced to acting assistant squad leader, donated new furniture to the company recreation hall, and according to a fellow trainee, "when he's free at night he goes to the telephone center and makes calls. On weekends the place is flooded with girls, and they drive him around the post...
...hobble-de-hoyden Tuesday night romps on NBC-TV's Jack Paar Show, doughty Prattler Elsa Maxwell. 74. has merrily trampled and spiked the foibles, veneers and peculiarities of such vulnerable folk as Elvis Presley, Billionaire J. Paul Getty. Jayne Mansfield, "Fatso" Farouk, Linda Christian and many another moving target. But not until one evening a fortnight ago did the gaily irresponsible Elsa turn her gusty gall on one of the few name-and-I-droppers in the world who, pound for pound, can outgossip and outfeud her-Walter Winchell. The battle between the titans of Babel began when...
...stars-Masaaki Hirao, 20; Keijiro Yamashita, 19; Micky Curtis, 18, the son of an English father and an English-Japanese mother-wear flame-red shirts, rose-pink coats, lobster-colored tight pants, blue or white suede shoes. They have learned their art from listening to U.S. records of Elvis Presley, though sometimes the lyrics suffer a transoceanic mutilation, as in Rub Me Tender and Rittoru Dahring (Little Darling).

...Malcolm Muggeridge, "viewers would either have switched on to another channel, or contented themselves with remarking that the speaker had an interesting face." Yet Christ is currently much in evidence on British TV. Most startling example: a Passion play in which Christ is a young man with an Elvis Presley haircut, scuffed loafers and worn jeans. The Virgin Mary, plump and nondescript, was the British version of anybody's mum. Pontius Pilate was suave and courteously detached in a well-pressed lounge suit, nonchalantly lighted a cigarette after he signed Christ's death warrant. The Roman soldiers were...
When well-fed Crooner Elvis Presley ambled into Fort Chaffee, Ark. for three days of induction processing, some 50 newsmen (plus Elvis' manager) were on hand to record every detail. Abetted by space-conscious Army brass, reporters gathered brief quotes at every step from reveille to taps (sample: "I had a good night's sleep, and I decided to get up"), gleefully watched the Presley poll being pared by a civilian barber, snapped for posterity US 53310761-whose normal garb runs to cat boots, loud sports jackets and open-necked shirts-in a singularly unpressed set of fatigues...
