Moustaches are the latest vogue for Harvard men, according to that arbiter of Cambridge fashions, the Boston Post. In an article entitled "Harvard Turns to Whiskers" published yesterday, the Post discloses that" . . . blond youth at Harvard is going in for the Melvyn Douglas trim...
Method and Madness. True to the best tradition of collaborators, Rodgers & Hart are not at all alike. Trim, afluent-looking, father-of-a-family Richard Rodgers (who at 36 is getting grey) supplies the method in their work: tiny, swarthy, cigar-chewing Bachelor Lorenz Hart (who at 43 is getting bald), the madness. Dick Rodgers lives with his attractive wife in a duplex apartment in Manhattan's swanky East 77th Street, summers at smart Sands Point, Long Island, gives formal dinner parties, draws a bid to the famed Charles Shipman Paysons' (the former Joan Whitney) Fourth of July...
...interested matrons attended the opening. One, who had often been a spectator in courts, was the prosecutor's trim, Junior-Leaguish wife. The other had never attended a trial.

Slim as a lancet, her trim superstructure melting into as slick an air-flow contour as any Hollywood futurist ever conceived, the 112-foot triple-screw yacht Q. E. D. poised one afternoon last week ready to glide down her skids for a maiden wetting in the ebbing waters of Manhattan's malodorous Harlem River. Beneath the concave bows of this fuselage-shaped ship stood her owner and chief designer, round, rubicund Hollander Anthony Herman Gerard Fokker, an old hand at aircrafting, a brand-new hand at shipbuilding...
