...with 4,165,000 circulation), Woman's Home Companion (4,225,000 when it died by the same stroke of the Crowell-Collier ax), Country Gentleman (which perished in 1955 with 2,566,000 circulation). Only last month, Esquire administered the coup de grâce to its sister publication, Coronet, which had a paid circulation of 3,122,628. Some of the newcomers have begun to die off too: The American Gun perished this summer after three issues; Music, planned as a hard-cover bimonthly covering the field from jazz to opera, still lacks financial support...
...grateful Mayenne placed a wreath at the bridge's center. Then the town built a marble monument, bearing an image of McRacken's face and the legend: "Ici pour sauver ce pout, James McRacken, 315 Bataillon, U.S.A., se sacrifia le cinq Août, 1944."

...sailor in the White House: "He seems to have changed very little since he was one of my PT-boat commanders in the Pacific war. He was a good one, too-a brave and resourceful young naval officer. But, judging from the luncheon he served me today [pièce de résistance: Cornish hen; dessert: omelette surprise]," added MacArthur, "he is living somewhat higher...
...three equally exhausted Germans he has flushed from some bloody pocket of the war. Mauldin's caption, inspired by a news dispatch: "Fresh, spirited American troops, flushed with victory, are bringing in thousands of hungry, ragged, battle-weary prisoners." A cavalryman sadly administers the coup de grâce to a Jeep with a broken axle. Relaxed before battle, Willie angrily casts his eye on his buddy's unlovely countenance: "Why th' hell couldn't you have been born a beautiful woman...
