...financial affairs, which may roil Ole Earl's troubled waters. ¶ Bedeviled by what one of his psychiatrists called "the pressures of being the childless branch of a dynasty." Long announced plans to adopt 14-year-old David Rankin. whom he had met in the Galveston hospital. The boy. said the Governor, had beaten him at poker with a "Mexican straight" (a hand consisting of deuce. 4. 6. 8 and 10). The boy's surprised parents demurred at the adoption plans, but let David go to Baton Rouge to welcome Ole Earl home...
...there are no well-documented cases in medical literature of an individual's stopping his own heart at will. What enables Mechanic Hansen to turn the trick is still a mystery. As a youth he suffered from rheumatic fever, once overheard the family doctor tell his parents: "Your boy will never live to be 20." Now the father of a 20-year-old son, Hansen lives with a heart condition and the boyhood-inspired fear that his heart may stop beating.

These works alone are worthy of a trip to the Busch's isolated headquarters on Kirkland and Divinity Avenues. Generally, however, the rather uneven quality of the exhibition tends...
...million (e.g., 200,000 acres of farm land; seven residences; Annacis Island near Vancouver; 285 acres of choice London real estate, including the U.S. embassy site on Grosvenor Square). The duke's byword: "The Grosvenors never sell land." In 1921 he had unloaded Gainsborough's Blue Boy and Reynolds' Mrs. Siddons as the Tragic Muse for $774,000 to pay off back taxes. Last week his heirs, faced with some $30 million in death duties (of which more than $21 million has already been paid to date), put up for auction 18 of the duke...
