...stabbed him over the heart. He turned and stabbed Pito Gualto's nephew. Then Julian Marcelino, a slightly dazed expression on his small brown face, descended into the street and quietly, efficiently, went amok. Proceeding at an even dog trot, a knife fashioned out of a bolo (native blade) in each hand, he skewered an aged grocer as he stood in his store doorway, then an amazed bystander on the sidewalk, then three Filipinos in a row. People ran screaming in all directions. When Officer Gordon Jensen, returning from a football game, saw him, Julian Marcelino was busy...
...eyes will understand why the anthropologists and paleontologists, who for weeks have been studying her skull with microscope and calipers, classify her as a Mongoloid type, more Eskimo than Indian. Professor Jenks puts her age at 17½ years. From a nick on the inner side of her shoulder blade he deduces the "murder." It may have been caused by a spear or arrow striking through her heart, through her right lung. She may have been crossing the glacial lake at whose bottom her bones were found.

Years ago the Merrills, Danas and Dockerys all moved in the same social circle of Natchez. "Dick" Dana, a gay young blade, suddenly retired to "Glenwood," his family's 90- year-old plantation home, a quarter mile from "Glenburney." Miss Dockery, unable to make a living by writing verse, moved in as his housekeeper, raised chickens, milked cows. Dana was mentally unbalanced. He used to wander into the woods...
Trophy v. Gillette. During recent years the unharmonious razor industry has become a lawyers' paradise. Last week another suit sprang up. Trophy Towers Sales Corp. has engaged in the business of selling double-edged blades in slot machines. It used to buy its blades from Trophy Blade Co., half interest in which was held by AutoStrop Safety Razor Co. When AutoStrop and Gillette merged the remaining half interest was acquired. Trophy Blade Co. dissolved. Last week Trophy Towers Sales Corp. brought a $30,000,000 damage suit against Gillette and 19 of its officers and directors. It charged that...
