...that Turner unveils in a trendy drag bar in uptown Manhattan. Knowing that the gig amounts to his Big Break in the business, Turner pulls out all the stops as he belts out, "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend."

Last week, for instance, a few days after the Fourth of July, they all turned out for Bastille Day. French Consul Jacqueline Dietrich borrowed a spit from a German neighbor, ordered supplies from Franz Kastner's gourmet delicatessen (Perrier water, lox and asparagus), invited the Swiss consul and representatives from Spartanburg's 40 European companies to celebration and song. Rudolf Mueller, manager of Menzel, Inc., a German-owned plant that makes textile machinery, was not there this time...
...assets are concentrated. But three weeks after his death, a so-called Mormon will mysteriously turned up at a church office building in Salt Lake City, making bequests to the Mormons, various worthy institutions and a gas-station attendant, Melvin Dummar.
