Stated First Edition. Writing in the same colorful, biting prose avid readers of Ruark's syndicated column know so well, he provides a hilarious commentary on the droll attempts to beautify the American male, an enlightening chapter on Mae West and Dr. Kinsey, and still another section dealing richly with summer madness and the absurdities of banks and vacations. In other chapters Ruark tells how to achieve fame on the stage or break into the movies - obviously by shooting people or by smoking marijuana. A fugitive professor from Yale who fell among snakes gets a brisk going over and such people as Tallulah Bankhead, Leo Durocher, Charles Luckman, Frank Costello, and a man who lives off other folks' ulcer pass under the amused scrutiny of the gentleman from North Carolina.
