...Hollywood paradox: a CinemaScope musical that has the bite of authenticity. In telling the story of Ruth Etting, the famed torch singer of the '20s, the film rings true just by following the broad outline of her career as it was carried in the tabloid headlines...
...tried the Times's Washington bureau. But Pundit Arthur Krock, who then headed the 24-man bureau, also advised him to go somewhere else and get some reporting experience. The Scripps-Howard tabloid Washington Daily News had the job; it hired Lewis and he quickly made a mark as a byline reporter. In 1953, when he began looking into the records of Government employees who had been fired as security risks, he came across the unpublicized case of Abraham Chasanow, suspended by the Navy Department (TIME, May 10, 1954). Reporter Lewis wrote a five-part series on Chasanow...
...Cook County Jail last week languished Alma Fergerson, 52, whom the tabloid Chicago Sun-Times labeled "prisoner of love." In 1949 she met Roy Fergerson; he was already married, but they moved in together anyway.

...rumpled creator of "The Neighbors." Instead of a belly laugh, Humorist Clark tries for a smile, or at most a chuckle. This folksy, low-key humor has made the cartoon so popular that last week it was being syndicated to some 150 newspapers, from Manhattan's tabloid Daily News to the Sioux Falls (S. Dak.) Argus Leader. It is George Clark's fond hope that every reader will recognize his friends (and himself) in the everyday lives of the pert housewives, harassed males and wide-eyed moppets in "The Neighbors...
