...When his client went on trial for espionage in Washington last spring, lumpy little Archie Palmer had tried to save her with wild histrionics and indigestible tales of international romance in Manhattan's subways. Archie failed; Judy Coplon was convicted and sentenced to 40 months to ten years in prison (TIME, July 11). Last week, as Judy prepared to go on trial in Manhattan on an additional charge of conspiracy, Archie Palmer was still his corny, arm-waving self, but he had discovered a new angle. Teamed up with a shrewd Manhattan attorney named Abraham Pomerantz, Archie complained that...

Shafer: "We didn't know what he was doing." Actually, Loewymen were out talking to hundreds of housewives who bought the products. When Loewy came back he told Armour to abolish all the multicolor labels that it had been using, and substitute a simple two-color pattern throughout. Armour saved enough money on color-printing alone to pay for the designer's services. As Lever Bros...
