...twelve miles west of Boston's Copley Square. Feeling a little like Cinderella, she moved into the big white mansion she had known as the President's House. She had three sitting rooms, a drawing room, two maids, a cook, a chauffeur and two secretaries. Her new domain stretched out over 400 acres of rolling hills. From the air it looked like a series of Gothic cathedrals with all their spires neatly shorn away. It was a network of pathways that ran under archways, circled a lake, wound among gardens, and threaded through lawns. It was a place...

After seven years' research, grey-haired, blue-eyed Otto Schnering was ready to launch the first big-scale nationwide system of breeding cattle by artificial insemination...
Last week the crown princess and her prince consort looked over their new domain in Washington. Bazy sat down with Editor-in-Chief Frank Waldrop, 43, one of the seven "faithful employees" who sold out to the Colonel after Cissy willed them the paper. She praised him for the way he was running the paper, and persuaded all seven to stay on for the present as hired hands. Cautiously refraining from throwing her 118 Ibs. around right away, Publisher Miller diplomatically announced that she planned to submit some of her columns to Editor Waldrop to "see if they...
