...organized court," they said, "need not fear the glare of publicity, but should actually welcome it." Two brothers, Biologist Yuri Vakhtin and Writer Boris Vakhtin, denounced the trial's "abnormal atmosphere" and "court violations." Noting that their father had been killed in a Stalinist purge in the 1930s, they said that they could not accept a return to that "terrible time of lawlessness and bestiality." Evgeny Kushev, one of those who took the stand at the trial, complained in a letter about Komsomolskaya Pravda's distortions of his testimony. Writer Ginzburg's mother has threatened a libel...
Oldtime fans still talk with awe about the thundering Auto Unions that dominated the Grand Prix circuit in the late 1930s, and the howling "Silver Arrows" of Mercedes-Benz that Juan Manuel Fangio drove to victory after victory in the mid-1950s.

...Interior Design Chief David Bell, will be increasingly used to make small apartment rooms appear bigger through trompe-l'oeil. At the moment, the most popular style of furniture, at least in the mass market, is Early American, but a change may be in the wind.
