...Blue Boy, setting the record for English canvases. Hundreds of other rich Americans were supplying themselves with high-priced ancestral portraits from England at about the same time. But the fashion waned and almost disappeared until last week, when Gainsborough's Mr. and Mrs. Robert Andrews fetched a fat $364,000 at auction in London...
...Fat Fees. Other records showed that Tommy the Cork was a fairly familiar name to the FPC. Back in 1957, Tennessee Gas had been granted more than an $8,000,000 rate increase.

Tabei recently donated a shelf of Egyptian books to the University of Panama, has also announced four scholarships for Panamanians to study in Cairo. Most important, Tabei has turned into the diplomatic set's host with the most, glorifying Egypt's canal-nationalizing over endless cocktails and dinners. A favorite guest: Aquilino Boyd, who as foreign minister...
