...just as Painter Augustus John thought Harris' Rolls-Royce to be, "like Elijah's chariot, purely mythical.") When Oscar went to prison, Harris defied a savage social blockade to visit the ruined man, offered him ?500. There may have been genuine courage in his conduct, but typically, two days later, Harris withdrew his offer...
...last week was a man who all too obviously thought he had it made-and meant to keep it if he could. It was a holding operation. His big purpose was to jack up Communism's prestige in Southeast Asia, which had been severely damaged by the aggressive conduct of his Chinese ally.

...crush on Elvis, just helping build up a TV singeroo slated for early May. By then, Elvis will again be supporting himself in the civilian style to which he is currently unaccustomed, collecting a cool $125,000 for a network appearance with Frankie.

Some Detroit Shriners turned out to be less outraged at such peccadilloes than at the man who got them in the newspaper: Walter Fuller. And before long, from the throne in Lincoln, Neb., Imperial Potentate Clayton F. Andrews delivered an imperial decree. Charging Fuller with "conduct unbecoming a Noble," Andrews commanded Newsman Fuller to "show cause why you should not be disciplined or suspended as a Noble of the Mystic Shrine." Journalist Fuller manfully stuck to his guns. "My first duty," he said, "is to the News." But he was hurt and perplexed...
