...nights a week, shapely, 36-year-old Lydia Lova takes her third-from-the-left place in Paris' famed Folies-Bergère chorus line, prances onstage dressed in not much more than a few sequins, a plume, and her smile. Unknown to most Folies patrons, Lydia Lova is in reality 2nd Lieut. Lydia Danuta de Lipski, one of France's greatest Resistance fighters. Last week the French government prepared to add the Legion of Honor medal to the Croix de guerre with bronze star awarded her by General Charles de Gaulle...
...Said tenement in which Egyptian "resistance" men scored a triumph of sorts over a 20-year-old British officer after the 1956 Suez ceasefire. Lieut. Anthony Moorhouse of the West Yorkshire Regiment, dragged away from his Land Rover, was kept tied up in the tenement for three days, then left in a steel locker to suffocate to death while Anglo-French search parties were combing the neighborhood. As a museum honoring the "heroes" who had kidnaped him, it would display Moorhouse's identity card, the locker in which he was kept, and even the rope that bound...
Making the advance arrangements for press coverage of the eleven-country, 19-day good-will tour on which President Eisenhower left last week, Presidential Press Secretary James Hagerty was acutely conscious of the press's tendency, when gathered in more than platoon strength, to get out of control.

Jim Hagerty was determined that there would be no such sideshow...
...logistical planning, Hagerty left nothing to chance. Correspondents got a series of detailed memos advising just what shots to get (cholera, typhus, yellow fever, smallpox, typhoid and tetanus), how much luggage was allowed (66 lbs. in one piece), what to pack (three or four bars of soap, enough clean underwear to last until New Delhi, black tie for state occasions en route). Hagerty, who took a dry-run tour of the route in November, even thoughtfully published information on the availability of American cigarettes along the way ($5 a carton in Karachi, none to be had in New Delhi...
...selecting the 2,240, a panel of five judges* relied mainly on a single gauge: "the decibel ring of the name." Noisy enough for mention: Christine Jorgensen (irresolutely described by the Register as both "he" and "she") and Zackerly (pitchman on a TV horror show). Left out as presumably not noisy enough: Robert Kintner, Allen Drury, Fabian. Notable inclusion: Cleveland Amory. Says Amory: "Frankly, I don't know whether it's more embarrassing to be in the book...
