...pass for a businessman, except that he moves too quickly and talks too volubly. He has close-cropped dark hair and large expressive eyes which grow increasingly intense as he warms to a particular subject. "Almost everybody I know is crazy about this guy," said the producer of a rival play, sitting in on the interview. "Success hasn't changed him a bit, not a bit. Look at him. He doesn't even know how good he is. No use asking him what makes him funny. He won't tell you. He'll say it's the part...
...Harlem by visiting Africa, by praising the Southern sit-ins, and by enlisting ex-Ballplayer Jackie Robinson for his staff. Puerto Ricans number 700,000 in the city, and one of their idols is Spanish-speaking Nelson Rockefeller, who is going all out stumping the state for his onetime rival Nixon.

Because of dense pack ice, no ship has ever crossed this...
Thus last week ended one of the least glorious competitions in newspaper history. When three brothers, Max, John and Louis Levand, took over the Beacon in 1928, they introduced a style of journalistic alley fighting that the rival Eagle had never seen before. Goaded to fury, Eagle Publisher Marcellus M. Murdock replied in kind.

The Eagle squandered news columns on insinuations that the Levands were chiselers; the Levands, who are Jewish, periodically...
