...time, visitors who rang the bell at the door of Zöppritzstrasse No. 46 in the little Bavarian town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen heard a recorded voice boom through a speaking tube: "Dr. Strauss is not at home . . . Dr. Strauss is not at home." After awhile, when even tall (6 ft. 3 in.), ruddy-faced Dr. Strauss had tired of his crusty prank, visitors were merely asked by a servant to state their business. In most cases they were turned away. Last week, in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a visitor called who would not be denied. Death came to Richard Strauss...
...great day had come at last. At 5:25 one gloomy morning last week, a tall, husky girl in an old green bathing suit strode down to the beach at Cap Gris Nez, France.

He has already written several sprawling novels of his native Sioux country which stirred the hayseed in many a city heart and established him as a prose bard of the tall corn. Now he plans a triple-decker to be called World's Wanderer, of which The Primitive is Part...
Thus, for the 2,462nd time, Portia Faces Life (Mon. through Fri., 5:15 p.m. E.D.T., NBC) brings to its avid listeners the innermost thoughts and self-sacrificial impulses of its heroine. Considerably less bemused at Portia's unflagging nobility is her creator; in fact, tall, tense Mona Kent, writer of Portia Faces Life, is betraying her stainless heroine for the first time. In a novel to be published next week (Mirror, Mirror on the Wall; Rinehart; $3), Scripter Kent tells the story of "a girl who wrote soap operas and tried to live her life according...
