Died. Ben Hibbs, 73, editor of the old Saturday Evening Post from 1942 to 1961; of leukemia; in Penn Valley, Pa. Newsman Hibbs earned a reputation as "the most quoted young squirt in Kansas" by age 27. He took over at Satevepost in 1942 and managed to revitalize the faltering weekly by sharpening its quaint cover style (while retaining the beloved Norman Rockwell), commissioning more investigative stories, and softening its sometimes automatic conservatism. The Post ran into problems again and suspended publication in 1969; it has since reappeared as a monthly...
...heard." That's the sort of word play that Beatle John Lennon, 23, dotes on, and since he writes it down, Simon and Schuster decided to publish it. Come April 20, In His Own Write will go on sale for $2.50. Excerpted in last week's Satevepost, Lennon's "graphospasms" were even hairier than the songs he helps write. "Little did he nose," writes Lennon "that the next day a true story would actually happen." He peoples his retelling of Treasure Island with Large John Saliver, Small Jack Hawkins, Blind Jew, Cpt.

...step will be," said former Vice President Richard M. Nixon, 50, describing his fling at flamenco dancing in Madrid. On a two-month tour abroad before plunging into his new job with a Manhattan law firm, Nixon squired his family around the Spanish landscape, then-gathering material for two Satevepost articles about international affairs-flew off to Barcelona for "a very pleasant interview" with Generalissimo Franco. At week's end the tourists were in Egypt for another round of business-with-pleasure, seeing Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, and President Nasser...
...awful drag on serious-minded diplomats. But since that is the way diplomacy goes, he told a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee that U.S. delegates in Manhattan need an extra housing allowance to offset entertainment expenses. Whereupon Republican Representative H. R. Gross of Iowa confronted Stevenson with a Satevepost article called "This is the U.N. at Play." One section dealt with "ladies of the corridor, fluffing their hair and painting their mouths" in a vice-ridden Tower of Babble where anything goes. Stevenson balked at the reference to V-girls. "That," he grinned, "is an aspect of the work with which...
Through its 61-year history as the Curtis Publishing Co.'s teetotaling companion of U.S. families, the Saturday Evening Post (circ. 5,731,138) has barred editorial approval of drinking in any form, and flatly banned liquor advertising. So set against rum was Satevepost Editor George Horace Lorimer (1899-1936) that he once ordered the glasses brushed out of a story illustration of a cocktail party, leaving the pictured guests with their poised hands mystifyingly upraised. More tolerant under Editor Ben Hibbs, the Post nevertheless sought no business from the nation's third largest (after automotive, food) advertiser...
