...Housemaids, Invest! In Bogota, money is usually invested in real estate. But in Antioquia, industrial joint stock companies have achieved a fabulous development. Even the housemaids follow the stockmarket. The biggest investor in the Cia. Colombiana de Tabaco, the country's No. 2 enterprise, owns no more than 3% of the stock. When a new hotel or steel plant is launched, the stock issue is subscribed practically overnight. It is as though every Antioquian peso were motorized to rush into the breach at the first opportunity...
Last week T.W.A. Board Chairman T. B. Wilson resigned. In the airline's offices, higher-ups were quoting odds that Frye would soon follow suit. No one had more cause to worry than Lockheed. T.W.A. has put in a big order for Lockheed's new Constellation 649, under a contract which binds Lockheed to offer the first 18 of them to T.W.A. But T.W.A. can refuse the planes, one by one.

A socialist of the German stripe, non-Communist, but more in sympathy with their viewpoint and efforts than with those of the "reactionary capitalists," it is not difficult to pick out the haven...
...chosen for the part must literally throw himself into the vast sea that was the soul of the Savieur de France. I remember well the case of Reginald Arbutney, who gave the Longneck Theater its greatest evening in the first male "Joan." Unfortunately, Reginald was never allowed to follow his star for he inadvertently tied a corset string to one spur and thereby broke his neck mounting his white charger in the last act. May the Harvard Joan have more care. J. Thisby McManus...
