...Woodbury, L. I. did the late Otto Hermann Kahn a stately pleasure dome decree. Architects Delano & Aldrich built it for him 22 years ago-a towering, turreted, 100-room French chateau surrounded with gardens, stables, farm buildings, 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, landing field and woodlands on 441 rolling acres. It was conservatively assessed at $1,100,000 and in it Otto Kahn, international banker (Kuhn, Loeb & Co.), art and opera patron, lived and entertained lavishly...
...date was June 28, 1914, a memorable day, 25 years ago this week. It was the 550th anniversary, of the battle of Kossovo ("the Field of Blackbirds") in which the Serbs lost their independence to the Turks. It was the day which Franz Ferdinand-Archduke of Austria-Este, Heir Apparent to the Austro-Hungarian throne-and his good Czech wife, Sophie, chose to visit Sarajevo, and it was the day when the trigger was pulled which set off World...
Toughest. Moe Annenberg hates Dave Stern with a cold, unrelenting fury. Dave Stern belongs to the uppercrust of Philadelphia Jewish society and Moe Annenberg made his money selling racing dope. Besides, Dave Stern stands between Annenberg and domination of the morning field.

Subexecutives have hung little red tags...
...Valentiner went too far with intimate arrangement only once, crowding five El Grecos into a cubicle. Chief triumphs of the show were in his own favorite field of Flemish and Dutch painting. In the eyes of connoisseurs, the Ince Hall Madonna (see cut) by Jan van Eyck was worth an exhibition all by itself. This tiny (8¾ inches by 6 inches) painting on wood came all the way from the National Gallery in Melbourne, Australia, where it is valued at $250,000. Until 1922 it lurked, under a heavy scum of varnish, in the murk of Ince Hall, near...
...Protestants give money to foreign missions, Dr. Mott said that the whole missionary system is "overworked and undermanned." A 15% increase in staff, he declared, would bring a 100% increase in results. But if missionary zeal is dull at home, Dr. Mott thought that it was keen in the field. Said he: "If Christianity should die out in Europe and America, it exists in such vitality and propagating power in the younger churches of India, China, Japan and Africa, that sooner or later it would spread from those bases and re-establish itself among...
