Bernice the Breadwinner. After Harvard, Cozzens hibernated in Canada for a while on a publisher's handout of $15 a week, finished a mawkish Elizabethan historical romance (Michael Scarlett), taught some American sugar planters' children English and math in Cuba, junketed around Europe as tutor to a 14-year-old polio victim. Later, he drew on his Cuban impressions to write two more apprentice novels, Cockpit and The Son of Perdition, unlikely tales of tropic adventure. In Ask Me Tomorrow, Cozzens used his European experiences for a crisply satiric self-portrait, complete with a characteristic blast...

There, O'Shea not only made his mark as a legal brain but even helped hire actors, e.g., Vivien Leigh for Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind. In 1950 he went over to CBS and back to New York to handle CBS's real-estate program. Now ex-Medical Student O'Shea hopes to breathe new life into Hollywood's sickest studio. ¶Herbert A. Kent...
...other discernible order; the last one was rumored to have been awarded the anchor position because "she got to more rehearsals later than anybody else." After she was seated, the orchestra struck up the first of the cotillion figures, the Coming-Out Waltz (original music and lyrics by Virginia Scarlett, daughter of Mrs. Eugene Ong, co-chairman of the ball). The lyrics: We're coming out tonight We're having our fling Debs dressed in yards of white Waltzing we sing 'cause Beaux flock around tonight Flowers are part of the scheme Tomorrow may be just another...
