...looks and the instincts of a praying mantis. There is J.B.'s mistress, Hedy La Rue (Virginia Martin), a carrot-topped vixen with a 14-karat heart. And there is the mating-call girl, played by raven-haired Bonnie Scott, who is all ready to be an office widow in the suburbs, "basking in the glow of his perfectly understandable neglect," even before she becomes an office wife...
Back home in Maine, Senator Smith, a childless widow, shrugged off the blast, suggested, "Mr. Khrushchev is angry because American officials have grown more firm since my speech."

And Car 54, Where Are You? is a question that does not deserve an answer. An NBC show written by Nat Hiken (who wrote Sergeant Bilko...
Married. Upton Beall Sinclair, 83, prolific (74 books) author whose muckraking, socialistic crusades made him the literary scourge of the haves (The Jungle, 1906) but tempered sufficiently to win him a Pulitzer Prize in 1943 (Dragon's Teeth): and Mary Elizabeth Hard Willis, 79, a widow; he for the third time, she for the second; in Claremont, Calif...
