Goldberg of Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, soft tissues are sutured over the lattice, leaving four posts protruding in the mouth to support and anchor dentures...
Covering the Mediterranean waterfront for the Hearst press, Elsa Maxwell tersely laid the scene of a Stavros Niarchos wingding-"The Creole, at anchor in the port of Villefranche, lay low in the water like a black panther of the sea"-pounded out the hard news with dispatch-"It was too funny for words.

Pennsylvania's Anchor Sanitary Co., for example, found it could make more money by leasing its delivery fleet and using the cash, which it formerly tied up in truck ownership, to buy inventory (plumbing supplies). The bigger inventory turned over seven times yearly and brought a 35% return. Anchor Sanitary paid out about one-seventh of these new profits to lease forklift trucks, salesmen's cars, even office equipment...
