...small John Raskob trudged into Manhattan's Old Postoffice Building for hearings-Mr. du Pont's to come first-before the Board of Tax Appeals. Both readily admitted that their deal had been solely for tax purposes, but contended that the sales had been strictly bona fide, with each man repurchasing his stock at the market. It was up to the Government to prove that they had broken the law against an "agreement, plan or understanding to repurchase." As the hearing got under way the Government's prime points appeared to be: 1) that while Messrs...
With bona-fide critics hailing Laughton's "Rembrandt" as a satisfying sequal to his jobs with the notorious Tudor monarch and the "Mutiny on the Bounty", and with the local half-shell philosopher disagreeing with editorial policy, as is his prerogative, and damning it as a fraud and a delusion, the spectator has no where to turn.

At 5%, the interest on $1,000,000 is $50,000 per year and the Chancellor of the Exchequer was presently reported to have agreed with...
Many bona fide students are deprived of the privileges of the House system because of the inclusion of graduates who have already spent three or more years in them. Considering the present enrollment figures, and the capacity of the Houses, there is no reason why undergraduate applications should not be considered first, since the House Plan was designed primarily for them...
