...appeared impressed with China's totalitarian "vigor." But he was not stampeded into recognition then. Last month, Sihanouk wrote cogently in the American quarterly Foreign Affairs that "a prince and a former king must be well aware that the first concern of the Communists is to get rid of the king and the natural elite of any country they lay their hands on." Only last year Cambodia contributed 3,000,000 French francs for Hungarian relief...
There was Dody Goodman, corn-fed elf and professional birdbrain, whose irrelevance and irreverence were fun until Paar got rid of her in an unseemly family squabble (TIME, March 24). Elsa Maxwell appeared for weekly off-with-their-heads chats, chopped at so many well-known necks (including Winchell's, Presley's, Princess Grace's) that Jack was only half kidding when he rolled his eyes and groaned: "Call the lawyers."

This worked well for six years, until Tommy was big enough to undergo the operation. Then Dr. Hopkins pushed the gullet stump back into place, stretched a piece of Tommy's large bowel up into his throat to meet...
...stars do well indeed in the final play, Ways and Means, one of the best of the set. A bedroom comedy, complete with burglar, about a pair of upper-class house guests, out of funds, whose hostess wants to get rid of them, it is consistently funny. But why do they omit the final line? Without it, the end falls flat...
