...fashioned hard sell in the form of a jingle. Bert and Harry were seen less and less. Last week their $100,000 annual contract, owned by Goulding, Elliott and Edward Graham, the team's scriptwriter, expired.

He buys her a gown, a necklace, and a hot chocolate with whipped cream; he quietly retches...

Immensely popular among Mexicans, Lawyer O'Dwyer hopes to renew his old U.S. ties, some of which were rudely severed by the Kefauver crime committee in the 1951 hearings that propelled some of his old City Hall cronies to jail for long terms.
