...Hofmann. He was the addressee of a letter found among her personal effects. He was a onetime president of the now defunct Friends of New Germany. Government agents counted on him as a star witness. They were shocked last week, when the investigation started: Ignatz Griebl had boarded the Bremen and was on the high seas, bound for Germany. At first glance, it appeared that this escape of Ignatz from a hair net was a brilliant piece of work. The assumption proved unwarranted. In his haste to leave, Dr. Griebl, naturalized in 1926, had forgotten to take along...
...barely enough to kill 65 soldiers, since the average cost of a war death is estimated at $25,000. Last week, 20,000 bombs, sold by Atlas Powder Co. of Wilmington, Del. were hoisted aboard North German Lloyd's freighter, Frankcnwald, before the freighter upped anchor for Bremen. The bombs, last of four shipments sold "to parties in the U. S.," cleared by the State Department, were for transshipment when they reach Germany.

There is a warmly-written, fact-laden essay on medieval Liibeck, centre of the Hanseatic League, sections devoted to business in Venice and Florence, to booms & crashes in Nurnberg, Antwerp, Bremen, the rise and fall of the Fuggers, the spectacular careers of Jacques Coeur, financier of Joan of Arc, and of Gresham, who backed Queen Elizabeth. But all this, with asides about church finances, taxes, makes up only the first half of the story of the businessman's endless race...
...foot; Snow White, over $200. Walt and a group of local cartoonists organized a $15,000 corporation in 1922, after spending six months making their first feature, Little Red Riding Hood. A New York distributor was found and out came Jack the Giant Killer, Town Musicians of Bremen, Goldilocks and three others, among them Alice in Cartoonland, which was a sort of embryonic Snow White. But the distributor collapsed. So did Walt's corporation. In return for movies of their children, Kansas City mothers paid him enough money to get him to Hollywood, where there were the twin attractions...
