...Richard Nixon's political estate could hardly be lower. California's Field poll, setting up possible Republican candidates against Democratic Senator Clair Engle next year, got these trial-run results: Engle led ex-Senator William Knowland 46% to 42%, San Francisco's Mayor George Christopher 48% to 34%, Nixon...
...acre farm in the Pyrenees. But Annabella, the beautiful French movie star of the 1930s who went to Hollywood, married Tyrone Power, and became a U.S. citizen, still feels the lure of her name in lights. Popping up in Paris to see herself in a revival of Rene Clair's 1931 screen classic, Le Million, Annabella, now a graceful 53, enjoyed the movie hugely.

To a big company like Hanna (total assets: $450 million), he said, the smelter deal was "small potatoes"; for that matter, the nickel contracts were the "tag end of our business." He had, he said, been too busy with more important Hanna interests...
...Despondent, Perrin tried suicide (poison and gas). On recovering, he took his psychiatrist's advice to drive a cab in Paris for the therapeutic value. Annoyed by gabby passengers, Perrin responded to their chatter with the same contemptuous wisecrack: "Mais tout (a ne vaut pas un clair de lune à Maubeuge" (But all that is not worth the moonlight at Maubeuge)-a retort all the more effective in that Perrin had never set eyes on Maubeuge...
