Curious Wife. Their married life was typical of the officer set-dinners with the colonel, shooting-parties, receptions and balls at the best London houses. But Desmond never let social splendor spoil his sense of kindness. He paid constant visits to a crippled veteran who had been his batman in World War II. He spoke tenderly of a doting old aunt, whose senile eccentricity caused her to send him blank postcards at regular intervals. Harriet never saw these two people, but at last she noticed that whenever her husband received a card from his crazy aunt, he broke any previous...
...departure of George P. Baker in 1924 and of Wallace Stegner, Mark Schorer, and others in recent years for more inviting universities has occasioned a constant dismay in those who would like to see the teaching of creative writing an important part of Harvard's curriculum.

The aunts are also well-played but it is the excellent acting of the children that really carries the show. They all perform as if they really do remember Mama...
Louis Golden finally sold it, he told the committee, for $315 to $325 a ton, to the Holland Furnace Co. of Holland, Mich., only four hours' drive from K-F's Willow Run plant. The constant selling and reselling of the same steel sometimes gets very confusing, Golden confessed. Said he: "I recall a gentleman came up to the office and asked us to come out and inspect some steel, and we needed that type, and we went out to our own warehouse and looked at our own steel...
