Since then our Paris bureau has kept close tabs on Poujade, and so has the French press. Ex-Bookseller Poujade fumed whenever TIME referred to his following of small shopkeepers and craftsmen as tax dodgers.

Ida Lupino, as always, is a capable trouper; Shelley...
...white man's demand for the sea otter had all but exterminated the Indian's main trading staple. Gone with the sea otter were prosperity and the passion for the potlatch. The gradual loss of ritual meaning stultified Northwest Indian art, turned its craftsmen into little more than manufacturers of tourist curios...
