NIGHT IN THE HOTEL-Eliot Crawshay-Williams-Liveright ($2).* The Hotel des Anges et d'Albion, its arresting title notwithstanding, was a second-rate hotel overlooking a second-rate Riviera town. Its 22 guests were a fair cross-section of upper-middle-class England (except for three who were French). When you first see them gathered in the dining room for their skimpy déjeuner they look a pretty average, not to say mediocre lot; but when Author Crawshay-Williams lets you follow them into their separate sanctums, shows them quarreling, soliloquizing, making love, they cease...
...concern went a step farther toward simplified wine making. They put on the market a patented grape concentrate in solid form about the size of a pound of print butter. Known as Vino Sano, selling at $2 each, these nonalcoholic wine bricks were flavored sherry, champagne, port, claret, muscatel, et al.

...Business is viewed with great alarm by highminded journalists and especially by such watchdogs of the press as Editor & Publisher (tradepaper). Even the Federal Trade Commission once interested itself in the discovery that International Paper & Power Co. held substantial notes of 13 U. S. dailies (TIME, May 13, 1929 et seq.). Observers wondered about Oilman Doherty's motive. Had he rushed into the Journal-Post in the heat of wrath, unmindful of the stigma attaching to a "kept" newspaper and all that appears in it? Or had he coolly reckoned that by walking in the front door in broad...
