Lana's fear was clear, and it led to Johnny Stompanato's death a month later. When it happened, all Hollywood broke loose. Newspapers all over the U.S. poured on the black ink and the big type, scrambled wildly for the kind of news that would keep the public buying. They found it. Two-fisted Aggie Underwood, 55, city editor of Hearst's Herald-Express (and only woman city editor of a U.S. metropolitan paper), decided that there must have been some love letters. She called Mickey Cohen, who took Johnny Stompanato's death...
...role as a show-business type permits Thomas the best of two possible worlds-the homy and the glamorous. Such notables as Bob Hope, Dean Martin and Hans Conried have dropped in on the noisy confusion of Danny Williams' family, promptly found themselves entangled in its small wars. Hope stirred Father Danny to unworthy jealousy by offering to appear in a benefit show that Danny planned to star in (at show's end, Danny properly repented his pettiness).

Samples (from the SAS menu): five slices of ox tongue, a lettuce heart, asparagus and sliced carrots-on a slice of bread; five slices of liver pate, fried crisp bacon, mushrooms and sliced tomato-on a slice of bread. Seconds are available for the asking, and SAS, for one, passes around a tray from which a passenger may take as much...
...Monocle shows Huxley using the old symbol of aristocracy to gouge the good eye out of his victim, a sensitive type named Gregory. Gregory is as phony as a man who would wear a monocle over a glass eye. He mismanipulates the monocle as a social rather than an optical device in a series of appalling drawing-room misadventures-until it falls to the floor of a London cab. and with it falls its owner...
