...York Times obit said of Philip Stack: "He was rated the leader in his art." It was a lowly art: he was the nameless mass-producer of saccharine sentiments on millions of greeting cards. For Walter Winchell's millions of readers he penned disillusioned doggerel under the pseudonym "Don Wahn." But his real name was familiar to the Esquire oglers who glanced at the jingles under Varga's flesh-tinted cuties...

It does show exceedingly well how an alien culture may change when transplanted by a businesslike nurseryman from the tough soil of religious...
...Baron. One Communist up for election was Rio's chief wag, the gentle, bearded Apparicio Torelly. A celebrated journalist, he is known to most Brazilians as the Baron of Itararé. He took that pseudonym after writing, during one of the country's revolutions, a series on the Battle of the Itararé River-a battle that occurred only in his typewriter...
