Handy Coolers. Light, expendable cartons to keep beer cool on hot-weather picnics are being put out by Milwaukee's Blatz Brewing Co. and Pabst. The Blatz carton, made of cardboard laminated to aluminum foil, carries a dozen cans of beer, has a Pliofilm bag along the bottom for ice, and sells for 15?.

For Graeber and his comrades, hell is not only the Russians but the stacks of German corpses emerging like an obscene layer cake from the melting snows, January casualties on top, October casualties on the bottom. When the Russians begin hitting his sector of the front with heavy artillery fire, Graeber is only too happy to snatch his first furlough in two years...
