...class), Stan Karanowski (No. 3), Powell Hutton (No. 4), Mike Gillette (No. 23) and Pete Dawkins (No. 10), West Point's celebrated Ail-American halfback and first captain of cadets. Dawkins will play Rugby only for his intramural Brasenose College team ("not with a splash, but gradually"). Hosmer will do some wistful spare-time flying ("All my classmates are in pilot training"). The real job is Oxford's challenging labor: the independent pursuit of "fineness of mind." All are reading "P.P.E."

At their showing of suits for winter resorts and next sum mer, makers ranging from big Catalina, and Cole of California, to Manhattan's petite Margaret Pennington, were plainly convinced that the Bikini, and two-piece suits in general, will be the brief thing to wear. Reasons: the rise in private pools, the step-up in travel to Europe, which has broadened the U.S. woman's taste while...
...Splash in the Night. Everyone was delighted when Humorist Benchley moved in, accompanied by Columnist John McClain, who trundled Bob from party to party in a wheelbarrow when walking was out of the question. At the Garden Benchley created some of his most memorable epigrams. There, when a friend said that drink was a slow poison, Bob, nose down in a beaker of martinis, answered: "That's all right.
