Witty Sting. Wunderkind Ustinov was born in London, a descendant of a titled Russian who was exiled in 1868. (Peter's grandmother owned the largest caviar fishery in czarist Russia.)

Peter drifted out of school in his teens and into London cabarets, where his mocking monologues kidded diplomats and aristocrats, prima donnas and generals.

Jackson roused the angry voice of Editor Louis B. Seltzer of Scripps-Howard's Cleveland Press (circ. 313,749). Under the headline THESE THINGS DON'T MIX, the Press urged that Jackson either drop out of the governor's race or 1) quit as political editor and 2) resign from the parole board, on which "the chance to make some extra friends by being extra lenient is just too appealing to pass up."
