...Administration saw no reason to abandon its long-standing basic position: I) eased credit, stepped-up defense spending and underlying economic strengths will get things perking up by midyear, and 2) drastic, too-much-too-soon recovery programs might fuel a new spiral of inflation. The decision: a reassuring statement by the President, plus a token public-works program...
Flinging his innuendoes high, wide and handsome, Schwartz paraded such names as White House Staff Chief Sherman Adams. Commerce Secretary Sinclair Weeks and George Gordon Moore (Mamie Eisenhower's brother-in-law). He darkly suggested that they had improperly influenced the regulatory agencies-and in a later statement, even while admitting that he was far from developing any complete case, he cried that he had "planned to bring to light the machinations of the White House clique in controlling decisions of these agencies...
Virginia's Democratic Senator Harry Flood Byrd, 70, spent most of one afternoon last week at his cluttered desk, writing a statement in painstaking longhand. Writing done, he reread it, handed it to an aide, slipped out of his office with his black cocker spaniel, Happy, frisking at his heels, and took off that night for a Tucson hideaway.

...Dagmar, now 58, presents a jaunty flashback to the splendiferous silent days "when money was thrown to the winds [but] always landed right back in the box office." Publicity departments "[made] us all creatures of fantasy" so that Theda Bara tried to live up to her studio's statement that "her coming was prophesied on the Nile in the ancient days when Egyptians lived there." Margaret Livingston served a formal tea to her cat every day at 4 ("Ask Paul Whiteman. who later married her"), while Nazimova was the only member of the "nobility of Bedlam" to have...
