Last week the trade buzzed with talk that a big manufacturer of chocolate coatings had skimmed the froth from the boiling cocoa pot. But the usual candidates for the role of "titanic forces" are "British interests"-an old bogey of the U. S. cocoa market.

As a matter of fact we're trying to get the patient away from sex overemphasis. Many of the patients think the whole world's attention is centred on the midsection of the human body...
