Hairdressers have not always been so much in demand. Until the recent past, in fact, their clientele consisted mainly of women too famous to let their hair down, too old to put it up themselves, or too rich to have to. But with a beauty parlor installed in every new shopping center, women who had always done it themselves have been hustling off to let someone else do it for them...
...employment, high growth and high hopes. As the U.S. enters what shapes up as the sixth straight year of expansion, its economic strategists confess rather cheerily that they have just about reached the outer limits of economic knowledge. They have proved that they can prod, goad and inspire a rich and free nation to climb to nearly full employment and unprecedented prosperity.

He looked like a character from one of his own novels: heavily lined patrician features, thin lips turned down at the corners, hooded eyes. Traveling the world in search of stories, he napped after lunch wherever he happened to be-aboard a tramp ship plowing the South Seas, in a Burmese hut or an outrigger canoe. Churchill, Wells, Cocteau, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the Kings of Sweden and Siam called...
