Active, intelligent Paul Henri Spaak Belgium's Foreign Minister, concluded last week what has already been called "the political bargain of the century" After the Treaty of Versailles, Belgium, which for centuries had been ravaged by the wars of others, pinned her faith in collective security. Since then Belgians have seen the League fumble and haggle while Dictator Mussolini walked into Ethiopia; they have watched Dictator Hitler's Storm Troops calmly goosestep into the demilitarized Rhineland zone (TIME, March 16, 1936), and France form a pact with godless Stalin (TIME, May 13, 1935) whom Belgians, most of them...
Whoever wrote that interesting editorial on Mayor La Guardia must have great faith in politicians who ride into office as "reformers". Perhaps he never heard of the Taxi Strike when the mayor allowed union thugs to beat up American citizens on the streets, so publicly that current news reels showed such atrocities with the police standing by, complying with the mayor's orders.

Stefano, the man who first seduced Andreina when she was 14, appears again, turns out to be Maria Luisa's brother. Stefano is now a cripple and nearly penniless; his rich sister will have nothing to do with him. Andreina hates Stefano, but to plague Pietro she ousts him, takes the cripple again as her lover. Hatred of everyone and everything becomes more & more her guiding passion. By Roman law, crippled Brother Stefano...
...lawyers answered that the prenuptial agreement is not valid because 1) it was not properly executed; 2) under Texas law such a pact is against public policy of the State; 3) circumstances which attended the signing render it invalid. Under the doctrine of uberrima fides (utmost good faith) common law presumes that there is a relationship of confidence between the parties entering into such an agreement and there must be the fullest disclosure by the pact's proponent of its nature and legal effect. Widow Green told Surrogate Owen at an initial probate hearing last autumn that...
