...When a heavy wind blows south from Boston or New Haven, it too often carries to Manhattan an unpleasant odor that bodes ill for the play heading for Broadway. Moreover, in the super-envious world of the theater, too many good old friends from around 44th Street like to flock to the nearby roadshows in gleeful hopes of bottling the last gasp...
...take his wife and seven-month-old daughter to Moscow, although there is no more assurance than ever that the Kremlin will resolve the "administrative" difficulties that have kept the Protestants out all these years.

Unemployed workers upcountry now flock to Leopoldville, where 100,000 of the normal 300,000 labor force are already out of work. Organized gangs, ignoring the barred windows and the bright floodlights around homes of the well to do, creep up at night to saw off the bars and steal what they can. The U.N. is bringing...
