...Divide et Impera," reasoned the British, and told the Americans of the mysterious visit of a French emissary to London. "The French have betrayed their word," they whispered slyly, "They will get a separate peace, and you will get nothing." Dr. Franklin stroked his lace frill with bejeweled chubby fingers and pondered the possibilities of a separate peace. Le Comte de Vergennes toyed with the silver inkpot on his satinwood desk, and tried to fathom the strange actions of his friends the Americans. Even Dr. Franklin received him a bit stiffly, a bit coldly...
...fight, thus jeopardizing his national prestige, and affronting the Republican Progressives who helped shove his recovery program through Congress last spring. McKee's support would be drawn from the following of Fusion Candidate Fiorello La Guardia, scrappy little Progressive ex-Congressman, firm friend of Senators Norris, La Follette et al., as well as from disgruntled Democrats.

Majordomo at Lake Hopatcong is Ellis Rowlands, a Welsh ex-actor still shaken by his experience in the Black Watch during the War. It is Rowlands, wearing footman's livery, who meets you at the door when you go to see Mr. Cook. Rowlands takes your hat and coat...
Early last June a Michigan judge mounted his bench as a one-man grand jury to hear the history of the decline and fall of Detroit banking (TIME, Sept. 4 et ante). For three months the prosecutor deployed scores of witnesses across the stand. Last week Judge Harry B. Keidan declared the show over and handed down his findings: 1.) that there was no evidence of criminal action on the part of Detroit's bank officials; 2) that there was no evidence of "smart money" withdrawn prior to the St. Valentine's Day closing; and 3) "most powerfully...
