Traffic swirled around the Plaza Bolivar; Christmas shopping was off only slightly.

Helsinki's non-Communist press last week welcomed back "the Paavo Nurmi of Finnish politics."

...still a first-class breed bull, still valued at $25,000, Swanky Dan was slowing up in the show ring. Last week, rather than risk his undefeated record, the Curtiss Candy Co., his owner, decided to retire him from exhibition, settled him on the Curtiss breeding farm at Gary...
