...disarming." ¶ Saratoga has been dressed up by Designer Cecil Beaton, but Morton DaCosta's musical version of Edna Ferber's Saratoga Trunk does not yet live up to its magnificent settings. With a $1,500,000 advance sale, Saratoga is sure of a long Broadway run, but Harold Arlen's music needs all the help it can get from Singer Carol (West Side Story) Lawrence and Howard (Kiss Me Kate) Keel. The 19th century high jinks between a New Orleans mulatto and a Montana buccaneer bent on robbing some robber barons is "rich in production," reported...
Beyond all the charges and countercharges that rocked television, there was evidence of real concern for the corruption of a major communications medium. The Christian Science Monitor's call for a government-established network, run like the BBC by a "public corporation" and paid for by the licensing of TV receivers, seemed a logical solution to some.

Back in 1930 he had served less than a year for manslaughter, but over the years he had beaten five raps for murder. At 55, boxing's strong arm looked like a tired old man. His face was drawn, and he was suffering from diabetes. Even elevator shoes failed to give his 5-ft. 8-in. figure any stature...
...attempt to turn the pain itself into pleasure, i.e., they become psychic masochists. At the same time, humans learn in the nursery to fear the woman: it is she who takes the nipple out of the infant's mouth, she who disciplines him. Many persons grow up to run away from the fearful mother image, and at the same time unconsciously to court self-damage. The resort for both distorted tendencies is homosexuality...
