Super-Secrets. The office of whoever happens to be French Finance Minister is in the vast Palace of the Louvre at the end of interminable marble stairs. With its walls of red & gold, its enormous twinkling crystal chandeliers and its delicate and beautiful antique furniture, it resembles nothing so much as the boudoir of a Royal courtesan. In this setting last week heavy Radical Socialist Finance Minister Vincent Auriol, whose right eye droops half shut behind his tortoise-shell glasses, received correspondents in the dead of night. He had left President Lebrun and Premier Blum soon after midnight...
...last week when Michigan counted its primary ballots the New Deal suffered two defeats. The first, utterly inglorious, involved Emil Hurja, Democratic Boss Farley's No. 1 assistant, who was disfranchised when the election board at Crystal Falls discovered that his absentee ballot was improperly witnessed.

In 1929 it lost its independent status when the (gentile) American Beet Sugar Co. (now American Crystal Sugar Co.) acquired 99% of its common stock. Like all beet sugar companies Amalgamated had a terrible Depression. It piled up a cumulative operating deficit of $3735,000 (since reduced nearlyone-third) which made it impossible under Utah law for it to pay any dividends. American faced the prospect of not getting any return on its investment for perhaps ten years. Therefore...
...interrupted, "I know that Zinoviev ordered his own secretary to kill Stalin!" Said Zinoviev: "I acknowledge that." "The secretary," breathlessly continued Bakayev, "instead of killing Stalin killed himself!" Lecture by Kamenev, With the air of a professor addressing pupils of none too great intelligence and striving to make everything crystal clear, Prisoner Kamenev made his confession at such length that his lecture was interrupted four times by the changing of the soldiers guarding the prisoners' box. Gist of Kam-enev's confession was that Stalin's old enemy Leon Trotsky (ne Bronstein), who now lives exiled...
