...Francisco, October's attendance is proving the best of the year (2,492,096 paid admissions for the first two weeks). It looked as if the Fair, by closing day, might just about pay off all but about $500,000 of its current debts. But the bald-faced fact was that no Fair official expected there would be a penny left to pay the outstanding $23,982,808 of the Fair's original $27,000,000 bond issue. The World of Tomorrow had to last over till...
Otto Neurath is a bald, booming, energy-oozing sociologist and scientific philosopher who used to live and work in Vienna, now lives and works in The Netherlands. Some years ago he invented the "pictograph" or "isotype" method of conveying sociological statistics by quantitative symbols (a convenient and striking dodge that for rows of dead numbers substitutes conventionalized pictures of men, machines, factories, whatever, each picture-unit representing any number the statistician states). He now heads the International Foundation for Visual Education. Out of his feeling, and that of his group in Vienna, that science should be a unified endeavor with...
...Hans Heinrich Lammers, Hitler's personal State Secretary and Chief of the Chancellery. Least known bigwig of the Nazi party, bald Dr. Lammers is a typical oldtime Prussian official, wears a Prince Albert more often than his Storm Trooper's uniform.

Author of many fat books on legal questions, Dr. Lammers produced the legal opinion which, after Paul von Hindenburg...
...land of Copernicus, Chopin, Mme Curie, Paderewski, is one place where estheticism and the laboratory spirit are not considered synonymous with general debility. And so it has been perfectly natural for Edward Smigly-Rydz to keep up his painting. One of the works of which the clean-shaven, egg-bald General is proudest is a self-portrait, with a beard and a shock of hair...
...whanging out this Brobdingnagian music was a prim, bald-headed carillonneur named Kamiel Lefre, No. 1 bellwhanger of the U. S. carillonneur of the Riverside Church and president of the North American Guild of Carillonneurs. Hard at work inside a little wooden booth at one end of the platform, through a glass window he could be seen pulling, slapping and stamping at the levers and pedals of the most complicated piece of bell-ringing machinery in the U. S. When he had boomed his last bong, Carillonneur Lefre emerged from his booth in a dignified sweat, took off his gloves...
