...Susie McNamara every Sunday night (7:30 p.m., E.S.T.), Ann is the "private right arm" of a show-business impresario, a glib, high-spirited girl in her thirties, who gets in & out of scrapes with sexy relish. Unlike Maisie, Susie dresses well, and "we try not to make her stupid. There are 5,000,000 secretaries in this country, and we want some sort of sympathetic association." After only a couple of months on the air, Private Secretary-a sort of junior-size I Love Lucy-has built up an audience of a good portion of those...
...Mary's hope that readers of this biography will find it free of "the animus which, regrettably, is part of the human make-up." The hope, regrettably, is not justified. Every last frailty and intimate secret of Bernarr Macfadden is exposed by Mary and her ghost with such relish that by the time they are through with him, the Father of Physical Culture sounds much more of a human being than he ever did before.

McCarthy waved a copy before televiewers' eyes, quoted long passages with unconcealed relish. Harris pleaded again & again that he wrote the book 21 years ago, that his opinions changed "as I learned more about life." But McCarthy, who seldom gets his investigating hands on anything so tangible as a book, kept baying at his heels hour after hour. The following exchange is a sample...
...fitted out a penthouse over his office. Even when he travels, as he often does, to Europe, the U.S. and South America, Lobo deals in sugar day & night by international telephone. "This business needs me," he says. His name in Spanish means "wolf"-"lone wolf," he explains with relish. Evenings, he says, when the last of the day's 500 cables have been answered, "I like to walk alone from my office to the harbor. There I can sit on the edge of a pier, gaze at the lapping waves, and think about the future of sugar...
