...company officers, he spent a third of his time in unpaid civic service, directed the framing of a master plan for improving Cincinnati, headed Red Cross and Community Chest drives, became trustee of the city's Institute of Fine Arts, a member of the executive committee of the Summer Opera Association, Harvard overseer, an adviser to the University of Cincinnati. In 1955 President Eisenhower tapped him for the biggest lay-educational assignment of all: chairmanship of the White House Conference on Education. Ike was impressed by the way McElroy steered a conglomeration of free-wheeling individualists toward a hard...
Ducks & Beeps. At length when 43-year-old Johnny Dio took the stand, he was a vision from an old George Raft movie-plaid summer suit, white shirt, dark, grey-flecked hair. He gave himself a final reassuring pat of his breast handkerchief when one woman cooed, "He's beautiful." Predictably, Dio had nothing to say in reply to 140 questions from the committee-except 140 Fifth Amendment refusals, read in a low voice from a typed statement...
...last year's business. Tickets for the Folies-Bèrgere could be had any night by just walking up to the box office. Hotels along the Riviera and the Basque coast were full, but full only of Frenchmen, themselves deserting Paris for the statutory three-week summer vacation (most factories and more than half the shops of Paris are closed in August, as all France takes off at once).

Perhaps the busiest of the musical blue bloods is a springy, raw-nerved...
...Ernie Kovacs rehearses his confusion." says one TV producer, "but Jack Paar just creates it." Last week Funnyman Paar, whom critics have long accused of living in winter off the nut he stores up in summer, was awash in the unrehearsed confusion of a sprawling, winter-weight marathon ballyhooed by NBC as the "new" Tonight. Contorting his rubber-band lips around his familiar pipestem and some spottily diverting japes, neat, dumpling-cheeked Jack Paar, 39, glibly scared up a little offbeat fun and flapdoodle-something that the gossipists who succeeded Kovacs and Steve Allen were notably unable to do.
