...What has happened to De Gaulle anyway?" he asked the lawyer recently. "That interests me. I condemned him to death and he condemned me in turn. We are both condemned men." Over De Gaulle's resignation as President, he sniffed contemptuously: "I stayed on when the difficulties were harder to bear." De Gaulle, he insisted, "wants to play the part of Napoleon," but his reputation as a military strategist stems only from the fact that "he explained battles of mine so well...
...Gandhi offered advice to the women which, for a vegetarian, seemed surprising: the only way they could avoid dishonor, he said, was to bite their tongues or hold their breath until they died.* If that would not work, he snapped, let them take poison.

High Profits. When other new pen-makers, notably Reynolds, threatened to tap the market first, Eversharp tried to stop them with a flurry of patent suits. The pens came out anyway, and sold like the hottest of cakes. When Eversharp finally brought out its own pen, it was delighted to find that the market was still going strong. Now it is turning out 30,000 pens a day, is sold out for months. This year, Eversharp expects to gross $50,000,000 on pens & pencils (2½ times as much as all pen & pencilmakers sold in 1939), net about...
