Before five hours had passed, PanAmerican Winner Umberto Maglioli and his bloodred, three-liter Ferrari were on the sidelines with a ruined clutch. Another Ferrari, its gas tank leaking, caught fire. Playboy Porfirio Rubirosa slipped off the track in his two-liter Ferrari, clipped a spectator's car, and promptly substituted caution for professional skill. On the way to the pits for repairs, he was rammed from behind and knocked out of the race...
From Hollywood, garrulous Cinemactress Zsa Zsa Gabor issued one of her regular reports on her pillar-to-post romance with closemouthed Dominican Playboy Porfirio Rubirosa, now listlessly awaiting a Dominican divorce from his fourth wife, Five & Dime Heiress Barbara Mutton. "He is screaming about my career," screamed Zsa Zsa. "Rubi has forced me to choose between him and my career. And now it looks like I'll have to choose my acting . . . I'm in too much of a hurry to become a top actress." Every once in a while, also complained Zsa Zsa, Rubirosa's easygoing...
With his eye fixed on Cinemactress Zsa Zsa Gabon, whom he has gallantly promised to marry, Dominican Playboy Porfirio Rubirosa dispatched two lawyers to the Mexican divorce mill at Cuernavaca.

When Porter tries to be sentimental about love (which is perhaps half the time), his music may be convincing but his words sound as invincibly phony as Porfirio Rubirosa reading Emily Dickinson to a debutante...
Devil-may-care Porfirio Rubirosa and his current great & good friend, Cinemactress Zsa Zsa Gabor, showed up in Hollywood to start a horse opera called The Western Affair, an epic calculated to display polo-playing Rubirosa's short-in-the-saddle talents. But when Rubi, relishing his prospective role as a two-gun saloonkeeper, sashayed up to the immigration office to apply for a work permit the federals turned down his request. Their ostensible reason: Rubi, though surely one of the greatest amateur thespians of his age, is not a professional actor. Wailed Zsa Zsa: "It just...
