...near Orléans, Gaudier was a descendant of masons and stone carvers who had worked on the Chartres Cathedral. He began drawing in early childhood, did so brilliantly that at 14 he won a scholarship to London. Two years later, he won a second scholarship, this time to Bristol College, with funds to study art in Germany. All the while he sketched feverishly, often with a pen, explaining, "That prevents me from getting sentimental in the lines." Traveling through the Lowlands to Munich, he sold sketches "in the manner of Rembrandt." When the money ran out, he returned...
Japanese "Piracy." The embarrassing fact is that after they leave their spawning grounds upriver from Alaska's Bristol Bay the sockeye swim farther out to sea than anyone imagined When the U.S., Canada and Japan instituted their North Pacific fisheries treaty in 1953, North American negotiators set 175 degrees west longitude as the eastward limit for Japanese fishermen, confident that no Alaska salmon ventured that far west. But Japa nese fishermen found plenty of sockeye outside the boundary, and marine biologists soon learned the truth: in its life cycle, the sockeye swims out around the Aleutian islands for more...
These developments have incensed U.S. fishermen, who argue that Bristol Bay sockeye are American fish that have been studied and improved with $50 million in U.S. tax money. This year, the U.S. stands to lose more than in the past: the sockeye will number some 27 million, a five-year high. As the fish take the far turn home in the critical first three weeks of this month, the Japanese will probably net up to 7,000,000 of them. Since 12 million must be spared for spawning, this gives U.S. fishermen a chance at less than half the crop...

...clearly offered the car for "1,395 bananas." Mrs. Bernice Wyszynski, who figures she can read as well as anyone else, immediately rushed to Used Car Dealer Joseph De Gonge in Bristol, Conn., and plunked down 25 bananas as down payment. Aghast, De Gonge demurred. Incensed, Mrs. Wyszynski appealed to the Connecticut State Department of Consumer Protection. There followed grave official words about such matters as false advertising. Last week De Gonge compromised and accepted Mrs. Wyszynski's offer-not for the banana car, but for a 1962 Pontiac Tempest that otherwise would have cost her $850. Not surprisingly...
