Like the Due de Morny, who didn't mind the people as long as they didn't come at him downwind, Biddle and Bullitt have had to learn how to shake hands with the grubby masses without visibly wincing at the thought of a soiled white glove. But long before Joe Kennedy was appointed to London, Bullitt-who in Paris goes everywhere, sees everybody, knows all-had made himself a diplomatic success...
Sirela is founded on the mathematical basis that the seven syllables of the scale, plus a Spatari-added Bo, may be arranged into no less than 1,000,000 pronounceable combinations. These combinations are used to express not only single words, but complete thoughts. To these combinations at present there is no rhyme nor clue.

This week Sidney Skolsky joined the growing stable of writers that Publisher George Backer is assembling for his New York Post. Hollywood thought Publisher Backer had picked the right horse, for Skolsky is one of the ablest columnists in the business (he originated the term "Oscar" for Academy Awards) and by far the most popular. Most serious row he ever had was when he criticized Constance Bennett for her noisy behavior at first nights in a column entitled "The Constance Sinner." Actress Bennett invited him to take her to an opening and see if she could not be a lady...
