...efforts to break up my country. We realize now that the propaganda campaign and the internal crisis were the responsibility of international Communism and its followers." The King paused. In his paper-white face the dark eyes seemed unnaturally large. His slight frame, draped in a rakish tan gabardine suit, was slumped under the heaviness of fatigue; he had scarcely slept in four days. Yet he talked confidently, in the manner of a man who had learned some bitter lessons of human perfidy and folly, but had found that he could make his way. That same day he had gained...
Last week Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd announced that he was filing suit for divorce from his young (29) wife alleging adultery with one Martin Lubbock and bringing the Cabinet divorce rate to three times the national average.

The action of Act II was not so clear, but Husband Vivanco feelingly declared that one day last week a couple of private detectives came...
...Snob. Holder put on three rowdy revues, and they got him an invitation to 1952's Caribbean Festival in Puerto Rico. From the festival (where he was a great hit in "a purple suit amid a riot of bougainvillaea and frangipani") he jumped to the U.S., spent a hungry year in Manhattan before he "qualified before the gods and goddesses of the dance" at Jacob's Pillow, near Lee, Mass., and landed a role in the Broadway musical House of Flowers.
