1925
Fresh out of college and working in Boston, I quite often used to sit with a well-known sports editor, while he wrote his advance copy for his next day's feature. I would say, "What are you going to write about today?"and his standard reply would be, "About a column," and then he would write the by-line, shall we say, Princeton, N. J. Special to the Newspaper; and proceed to quote the football coach on his team's prospects and progress. Well, in this column, I cannot ad lib to that extent. Some of you classmates do considerable t raveling and see others in the Class. Why not take 10 minutes and tell me about it? That's how news, interesting to all of us, develops. I'd like to write the limit of space allotted me by Charlie Widmayer, but the length and amount of news depends a lot on your cooperation.
Clif Hill popped in on us Sunday, all the way from Dhakran, Saudi Arabia by way of Pakistan, India, Ceylon, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Hawaii, San Francisco and New York City. He has been assistant to the executive head of the Arabian American Oil Company since 1948, and has a three-months vacation. He and K bought around-the-world airplane tickets which will be used up when he returns to Dhakran, the middle of June via Europe and Africa. Says the climate out there on the Persian Gulf is excellent ten months of the year with fine modern conveniences and feels that the relations between this foreign American-owned company and the Arabian government are satisfactory. Clif was in Boston primarily to see his son Peter '50, at the Harvard Business School. They plan to spend most of the rest of their visit in their apartment in Greenwich Village. A few months back Clif had a fine reunion with Dick Gratz in Paris. Clif says he has now seen most of the world except Turkey—and lack of that for no particular reason.

From the New York Times: Stanley Kramer, independent producer at Columbia, has purchased a comedy fantasy, The 5,000 Fingers ofDr. T., written for the screen by Ted Geisel, who uses the pseudonym of Dr. Seusjs. The yarn concerns the world as seen through the eyes of a nine-year-old boy at a moment of maximum rebellion. Its title is derived from a vision of 500 youngsters regimented to practice exercises on the piano. Geisel's most recent screen writing venture was Gerald McBoing-Boing, an animated cartoon that won a recent Academy Award.
