...history of metropolitan newspapers in the U.S. is rightly written around the names of great editors and publishers. Charles A. Dana, Horace Greeley, James Gordon Bennett, William Randolph Hearst, the first Joseph Pulitzer, Adolph Ochs, Captain Joe Patterson-each left an indelible imprint on U.S. journalism.

...Dimes fashion show in Manhattan, well-known ladies from all walks of U.S. life dressed them selves in newly designed getups, paraded about the grand ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria to help raise money for a final victory over polio. Among the models were austerely beautiful Mrs. William Randolph Hearst Jr. (who displayed what Couturier Charles James called "the highest bust line in 125 years"), socially registered Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, TV Star Margaret Truman, and split-bustled sometime Stripteaser-Novelist Gypsy Rose Lee. Bubbled Gypsy: "I don't worry about shoes. When they start looking at my shoes...
