WASHINGTON, March 10.—Published today is a book called “Man on the Half Shell” When the review copy came into the office, my boss took a long look at the handsome cover portrait of the author (naturally a handsome guy) and tossed the volume to me. “You are the expert on this,” he said, with a gleam in his eye. “You review it.” He was correct. I am an expert on this book. I wrote it. Wore both of my typewriter fingers to their first joints doing it. It is a peculiar book. The publisher said, write an autobiography. I said, who, me? “Yes,” he replied, “but leave yourself out of it and write about the people with whom you've done business the last 20 years.” This obviously was a good idea. But how can I leave myself out of it when I am surrounded by blonds in a nudist camp? Or talking to Mae West about her cast iron underwear? Or busting up by mistake a meeting of lady birth controllers? Or facing a small boiled octopus the was pink) in the soup bbwl of a black market restaurant in Rome?

. - . Disappointed Editor I DID MY best, but I am afraid I disappointed the editor, kind of, sorta. In some of these episodes and others involving Lana Turner, Herbert Hoover, Vic Mature, Chief Justice Fred N. Vinson, Al Capone, Sam Goldwyn and the Taj Mahal, I fear that Othman shines through. I couldn't help it. My bride, with whom I seldom disagree, says it is the best book any husband of her's ever wrote. She says Shakespeare was good, too, but Othman is easier to read.
