...financial counsel" has the color of wisdom and respectability. An idol crashed, therefore, when members and guests of Manhattan's Delta Upsilon Club listened, last week, to an address by John Moody, publisher of Moody's Manual, President of Moody's Investors' Service, financial analyst, author of The Art of Investing and How to Invest Money Wisely. Said Analyst Moody, humbly...
...Years ago, I thought I knew it all. It was then that I wrote The Art of Investing. At 30, I wrote How to Invest Money Wisely.

Though Author Rinehart knows how to write a mystery story (The Amazing Interlude, The Red Lamp), and her sons* know how to publish them, she indulges in dilution to the extent of a new volume self-labelled "a love story-with just enough mystery." Mystery connoisseurs will be disappointed. Love-storyites will find in Holly a spineless heroine, in Warrington a blundering hero in spite of his burly...
