Perry recalled that: "I saw Santayana some years ago in Fiesoli, where he was visiting his fiend, Charles A. Strong. Santayana was, at that time, living in a hotel in Rome, and I remember his saying, with some pride, that months would pass without his speaking to anyone except the headwaiter. It was evident that he prided himself on his solitude...
...more earnest than hearty. He can even kid the Texas myth a little. In a recent radio interview with Bob Crosby, he said: "I'd like to say something serious now, something I want all the world to know and remember and something it gives me great pride to tell you . . . I'm from Texas." Even without the ten-gallon hats and other Texas props, he looks a little like Gary Cooper made up for a Latin audience. But Shivers, despite his good looks, is debarred from a movie or TV career by the bluest beard in public...
...smartest politicians ever to sit on Beacon Hill, is a moon-faced bachelor with a hearty Irish smile.

The leader of the opposition is a huge "obscene parrot" of a woman named Ma Curry, who wanted to turn Vardon Hall into a hotel...
Though circulation grew to 300,000, Tan Confessions failed in another way. Said Johnson: "Our magazines help the Negro to have a greater dignity and pride in his own accomplishments. I found I had to apologize for Tan Confessions. I had thought we could dignify even a confessions magazine." Last week he corrected the mistake. He shortened Tan Confessions' title to Tan, changed it from a true-confessions monthly to a service magazine for Negro women. In its first issue, Tan has everything from articles on "How Club Women Should Dress" and "Teach Your Child to Value Money...
