...Wasteland. The actions of the small Nielsen sample are extrapolated to determine the habits of the entire tele viewing and radio-listening population. How risky is this?

Rex Ellsworth has come a far piece since he showed up in Kentucky in 1933 with $600 in his poke and a yen to buy some brood mares.

He coached the student players. They have confided to me in strict confidence, which I never would dream of violating, that while members of the Department of Classics were anxiously consulting about the correct syllabic "quantities" of verse readings (after the manner of their so pronounced...
...includes such long-time residents as the Earl of Warwick, Conductor Efrem Kurtz, Violinist Yehudi Menuhin and Swiss Industrialist Louis Chopard, whose wife Nancy specializes in international parties usually attended by at least one countess. One successful hostess, U.S. Freelance Photographer Nancy Holmes, featured as house guests the Rex Harrisons, who made the night sky shake with a mambo in the snow. There are some 250 chalets dotting the valley in and about the village, and owners are expected to host one big party every ten days or so during High Season (mid-December to mid-March).
