...said plaintively. They kept coming. "I can't stand another one." So it went, for the eight days of her Hawaiian visit, through speech giving, sightseeing and skindiving: an embarrassment of riches, from feathered gourds to a monkeypod tray, and an even more embarrassing swarm of aloha photographers. She banned one from a luau for snapping her in a bathing suit, wailed at others, "I can't stand up, I'm sinking," when they asked her to pose in spike heels on a soggy lawn. She even tried to elude them when a gift Indian sari...
That about says it for the Folies-Bergère: in one sense, it promised to be the biggest bust in memory, and in another it is. The French revue of flesh and spectacle opened last week in Manhattan.

Kaufman: "Through depression and boom, war and peace, Tin Pan Alley has light-heartedly insisted that 'the whole world laughs' with a laugher, and that 'the best things in life are free.' " The suit against Mad is "an apparent departure from these delightful sentiments." Parodists, said Judge Kaufman, must be permitted to borrow from the original, or else...
...peddles toothpaste and Cokes for the druggist, he meets a mad Jewish orderly named Sammy. Reason or reasons do not seem to exist for Sammy. His role is to drown the rationalist Angelo in humanity, and he rants outrageous anecdotes proving that the perversity and saintliness of the human swarm are inextricably intertwined. In the hospital Sammy is seen acting out his mad parables, caring lovingly for the dying, and hooking complaining patients on the morphine he steals and peddles...
