Lola Flores, a dark-haired, deep-bosomed Spanish flamenco dancer with a throaty voice and glittering black eyes, is the current rage of Mexico City. Getting a table for her 2 a.m. show at the fashionable, mirror-ceilinged Club Capri requires luck and pull plus about 150 pesos ($16.40) per person cover charge, a record price for a Mexico City night spot. At the Iris Theater, where Lola dances before her nightclub show, tickets are priced at 15 pesos, but scalpers get as much...
...London last week, Prime Minister Winston Churchill dropped a libel suit against the London Daily Mirror, world's largest (circ. 4,500,000) daily newspaper. Churchill charged that the paper libeled him (TIME, Dec. 31) by implying, on the day of the last general election, that he was a warmonger. He withdrew his suit after the Mirror agreed to pay full court costs, print a front-page apology, and make a contribution to a charitable fund for elderly people that Churchill named.

...become pat: a continuous series of wordy but provocative sketches of favorite Post whipping boys, e.g., Senator McCarthy, Walter Winchell, Westbrook Pegler. When U.S.A.

Like its competitors, Lucy holds a somewhat grotesque mirror up to middle-class life, and finds its humor in exaggerating the commonplace incidents of marriage, business and the home. Lucille's Cuba-born husband, Desi Arnaz, is cast as the vain, easily flattered leader of an obscure rumba band. Lucille plays his ambitious wife, bubbling with elaborate and mostly...
Jack Lait, editor of the New York Daily Mirror, and his nightclub columnist Lee Mortimer are old hands at libel. In their first three "Confidential" books they picked up no fewer than six libel suits.* By last week their latest slapdash gutter-side view of America, U.S.A. Confidential (TIME, March 17), was well on its way to outstripping the other three. A $1,000,000 suit brough by Maine's Senator Margaret Chase Smith, for bringing her into "scandals as an associate of and sympathizer with Communists," was the sixth in three months. The others...
