...stocky Austrian Olympic ace, whose spectacular record-smashing feats have astounded swimming enthusiasts all over the nation, feels that the opportunity he has been offered is too good to refuse, and will start work in Chicago or Atlanta the summer. He will definitely not return to Harvard...
...since the 12th Century, came into possession of part of Liechtenstein in 1699, the remainder in 1712. It was constituted a principality in 1719 by diploma from the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI. Archdukes of the House of Habsburg often turned to the House of Liechtenstein for their brides. Austrian Kaiser Franz Josef once named Liechtenstein's Prince Franz Paul, who abdicated last week, as Austro-Hungarian Ambassador to the Imperial Russian court.

S. residents know anything of the disease or of the dirty pink eruptions, high fever, delirium...
...years ago the undisputed title of No. 1 living cellist was held by a stocky, bald-headed Spaniard named Pablo Casals. The aging Casals has not played in the U. S. for nearly a decade. Three years ago, when Austrian-born Cellist Emanuel Feuermann made his Manhattan debut, he set the cello fans' heads to wagging. Short, roundheaded Feuermann not only drew a powerful, well-modulated tone from his recalcitrant instrument, he could play it with a rippling facility that put most violinists to shame. Last week Cellist Feuermann finished the most ambitious cellistic venture ever witnessed in Manhattan...
