...Mart Building Co. of Chicago, watched it climb from 37 to $12.50. By the time he died in 1951, he was the wonder of his brokers. "The old gentleman knew nothing about stocks," said one. "He bought what we call undervalued situations-a company which for some reason has fallen into disrepute temporarily, but which is fundamentally sound.

Astronomers believe that since 1900 the earth's turning has fallen about 30 seconds behind schedule, which would account, roughly, for Mercury's overpromptness.

The opening scene promises a melodrama dressed in the intriguing cutaway of international incident. Once the curtain has fallen, however, on the unique spectacle of the French and British U.N. delegates sneaking a corpse out of the U.S. delegate's apartment, the play rolls on like a tumbrel through scenes which seem to bore even the actors. Until the final scene's return to the plane of melodrama, the pace...
