With her "vignettes on life and love" now sprinkled over NBC's weekend Monitor, Marlene Dietrich has become radio's newest lovelornist. Meeting newsmen in Manhattan, she offered some samples of her new specialty, e.g., Marlene, who was married at 19, thinks today's "teenagers should not marry because they don't have enough experience."

Francesco Pellegrino, S.J., projected such a sense of immediacy ("I have just come from the bedside of the Holy Father") that one listener was moved to observe:"You could almost hear the Pope breathe." After the Pope's death,† the mills ground out rumor (e.g., that the Pope's secret diaries had been stolen) and worked up enough "dope" stories discussing the "papabili" of the church's 53 cardinals to bring...
...single model car, now offers millions of combinations of color, interior fabric, power, styling and accessories in its autos, could theoretically run at full production for a year and never produce two identical cars. Westinghouse Electric turns out 63 "basic" models of appliances that can be modified 342 ways. Radio Corp. of America has 316 cabinet styles and models in radios, TV and phonographs alone...
