Rand Jr., after defying a National Labor Relations Board order to reinstate and bargain with 4,000 of his employes who have been on strike since last May (TIME, March 22), visited Secretary of Labor Perkins in Washington and worked out a settlement with which she announced herself "extremely well pleased."

It begins when lovely little Renée Séverin, wife of a French officer, leaves the tropics to take her two children to the ancestral home of the Séverins in northern France.

Instead of rejuvenating her, it turns her into an old lady. Muttering, in effect, "What...
...museum men discovered that two extremely important bones were missing: the thin little pelvic bones with vestigial thigh bones which show that 60 or 70 million years ago whales had serviceable legs.
