...what orders, he never cared), so up sprang the legend that if Dumas were spun round, further rows were revealed dangling from his back. He wrote with such rapidity that people refused to believe that he wrote at all-Dumas, they said, was just the pen name of a five-man syndicate. Dumas (who loved to out-legend his own legends) denied this. "My valet," he said, "used to write [my books] for me, but he now pretends that he is also capable of signing them with his own name, so of course I had to dismiss...
Outside Pressure. For Mississippi's Governor James Plemon Coleman, who led the five-man Southern wing of the subcommittee over the rough flooring of the plank, the results were "palatable"; i.e., the plank was not shoved down his throat.

President Juan Terry Trippe is to head the five-man mission to Moscow. For weeks, Pan Am brass has been huddling with Soviet diplomats in Washington, biting away at technical questions, e.g., maintenance facilities, fuel storage, radio navigation aids, passenger and baggage facilities.
