In Manhattan there is hardly any real gossip in the daily flow of words from golf-playing Igor ("Cholly Knickerbocker") Cassini, in the Journal American, or good-natured Joseph X. Dever in the World-Telegram, or bland Nancy Randolph in the Daily News, or even the entertainingly abrasive "Suzy" (Aileen Mehle) in the Mirror.

The Deputies marched toward the building, each bearing as credentials a telegram from Acting Chamber President Becerra asking him to appear at the session. The Peronistas got as far as the door, where police blocked the way and lobbed tear-gas grenades into the milling mob.
