But it's almost a shame Walter Lippmann himself couldn't be there to tell all interested about the life of his college friend. One can only think that Walter Lippmann himself might...
...founder, publisher and editor in chief of a slick, sophisticated monthly magazine called Intro ("The Single Source for Single People"), inserted the ad for herself in the March issue. It pulled 50 replies, including a letter from a divorced Chicago entrepreneur who was last seen flying warm, gentle, sensuous Suzanne in his own twin-engine Piper Navajo to Mackinac Island for the weekend...
