...deserves it, it will come. America was built on the symbiosis of Dale Carnegie and Billy Graham. These national superstitions have been prolonged in Agnew beyond their natural life by his blighting prosperity, his deals and millionaire pals, his anachronistic Main Street of steel and neon (replacing the old stone and shingle), his crippling good luck and gods who blind him with blessings...
Things have changed up the river. Lenny Bruce was fond of casting the typical oldtime prison flick with little-known B players: "Charles Bickford, Barton MacLane, George E. Stone, Frankie Darro, Warren Hymer, Nat Pendleton, and the Woman Across the Bay, Ann Dvorak." But now, judging from Riot, the big house has gone mod, and there is no need for such durable old stereotypes. Riot concocts a fresh new batch...
Flashes of Purple. It is Tanzanite's uncanny visual resemblance to the sapphire, the second-biggest seller (after the diamond) among precious stones, that made a gemologist at Manhattan's Tiffany & Company hail its discovery as "the most exciting event of the century." Although it actually is a three-colored stone that shows flashes of purple and green, its predominant color is a deep royal blue. Since "blue is the most popular color in gems," according to Henry B.

The meal is traditionally topped off with a slice of sweet-potato pie, a delicacy...
Country Weekly. Located in a three-story, stone-and-brick building just inside the Vatican City's walls, L'Osservatore exudes less the atmosphere of an afternoon daily than of a country weekly. The paper normally goes to press around 3:30 p.m. but will hold for an hour or longer if a papal announcement is expected. The twelve editorial staffers, who include both laymen and priests, rarely worry about deadlines; if they miss one day's edition, they merely put their copy in a drawer until the morrow...
