...Brooms. A dozen women, fed up with the male politicos who had increased municipal debt while letting the town decay, formed their own "United for Walsenburg" party, drafted a stern austerity platform calling for prompt payment of the town's debts and no salaries for the mayor and town council. The women pored over civics textbooks, stormed into meetings of the all-male city council, journeyed to Denver to seek advice from Democratic Governor Stephen McNichols. Though Walsenburg had never before elected a woman to any office, the United party put up a slate of seven of them, recruited...
...audience of skeptics could not understand a word. Then she had pictures flashed on the screen showing before-and-after views of her patients. An old man so emaciated that he looked like a death's head appeared later with plump cheeks. Obviously he had been well fed in the meantime, but Dr. Asian attributed his improvement to her regimen of giving thrice-weekly injections of procaine (better known by one of its trade names, Novocain).

But most members prefer their artistry straightforward. Last week Fluffles the Tassler and Countess Carolin von Sirowitz (the names change quickly) made members forget such recently faded princesses as Peaches Page and Melodic Bubbles. And all across London, clubmen were impatiently awaiting the promised arrival of Bonnie Bell the Ding-Dong Girl, whose entire wardrobe consists of three bells...
...Bankers hope that the 5% prime rate of U.S. banks-the interest charged the biggest borrowers with the best credit-will not drop too soon. "Any bank in Dallas probably could lend twice as much money as it has available to lend," said a Dallas bank officer, "and the Fed's action won't change this situation." Most big-city banks have some 60% or more of their deposits out in loans, close to the highest deposit-loan ratio in history. They do not want it to go any higher until credit eases considerably...
