...other words the Italian team, champions of all Italy, had been defeated 3-0 by Austrians who are now the champions of Central Europe. After "spittoon" came epithets so violent, similes so obscene, that presently the French government-no committee of prudes-banned the sale in France of L'Impero and its foul-tongued sister sheet // Tevere. Unfortunately the episode did not end there. Stung by the knowledge that despised and hated Austrians are now the "champions of champions," almost the whole Italian press spent the week in working itself up to a purple pitch of fury-even demanding...

...Central figures in I. P. & P. are two: Malcolm Greene Chace-a quiet man of mystery-millions, a man so quiet his name is not on his office door or in Who's Who. For years he was a dominant stockholder in International Paper and New England Power. When he obtained control of the former, combinations began. He kept in the background.
