...grocer's bag of whims and interests, one of A. & P. Heir Huntington Hartford's most earnest pursuits is graphology. Few persons, from financiers to fiancees, ever get close to Hartford without passing his handwriting test. Most of all, he likes perfectionists -people who make their d's Greek-style, from the bottom up after an initial downstroke. Yet as a businessman, Hartford sometimes works from the top down. He has emptied treasure into such disparate ventures as Show magazine (sold for a $7,000,000 loss), Manhattan's Gallery of Modern Art (annual deficit...
Every pitch Marichal throws today was already in his bag of tricks when he reported to San Francisco in July 1960.

...unlikely that they would let either of them drown-as happened to a 19th century Queen of Thailand. The royal barge sank after a collision, but no one dared offer a helping hand. When occasionally it was necessary to execute a royal personage, he was put inside a red bag, to avoid touching him, and beaten to death with a sandalwood stick wrapped in silk. Ordinary sentence of death in modern Thailand is meted out by machine gun following sentences of the courts. But with Buddhist reverence for life and typical Thai indirection, the condemned is concealed behind a curtain...
