...journalism and letters, a salute went to prolific Naval Historian Samuel Eliot Morison (his second Pulitzer) for his biography, John Paul Jones. The hit musicomedy Fiorello!, written by indefatigable (at 70) George Abbott with Jerome Weidman, was the third musical ever to win such an award (the others: Of Thee I Sing and South Pacific).

If the wife left him and went home to mother, and her husband still wanted her, he had simply to appeal to the courts, and the judge would obligingly sentence her to the Bait al-Taah, the House of Obedience. Under this dread practice, the police would arrest the woman wherever they found...
