...buying her as a national relic. The idea of this great American ship being scrapped after her glorious war service brings to my mind the almost identical case of the U.S.S Constitution. The generosity of the American people helped save "Old Ironsides" and I am sure that we can count on them to save the "Big E" now. Please forward my small contribution to Admiral Halsey for her salvation. FRANK A. CUTTITA Loudonville...
THERE was a Renaissance count named Frederick of Montefeltro who was blind in one eye. This made him nervous, since he was unable to see what was happening on his blind side-his Borgia-minded dinner guests, for instance, might easily drop some poison in his soup. So he had a surgeon cut a notch in his nose for good peripheral vision. This incident is used by Sir Harold Delf Gillies, Britain's famed and famously light-hearted plastic surgeon, to illustrate the infinite challenges to the imagination that are found in his difficult surgical specialty.

Biggest wheel among Schrunk's fellow defendants: Teamster-sponsored Democratic District Attorney William M.

Then Kadar and hosts drove off for "ideological and economic talks," or, if things did not have to be phrased so diplomatically...
...from a handful of mysterious sellers who collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits for helping Silberstein. All told, said Silberstein last week, his Penn-Texas Corp., a grab bag of 20 companies has bought-or agreed to buy-some $35 million in F-M shares.

Last week, in his reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Silberstein was forced to reveal how he had collected all his shares-and who many...
