In the Journal of Genetic Psychology she reports on interviews with 300 fathers aged between 20 and 79, of whom 48% admitted that they teased children under six. They cited 151 ways of teasing...
...with murdering his father-in-law, Sir Harry Oakes (TIME, Nov. 1), was in its second week. The case involved wealth, mystery, youth, beauty, titles, tropical lightning, Maltese cats.

Journalist McGee gallantly retaliates...

The fact that Cinemactress Grable's histrionic legs are here shrouded in fancy skirts may sadden her admirers. But she makes up for that in one high-stepping number which has something of the shock value that might result from watching grandma, in the bloom of her youth, chuck an old rip under the chin with the toe-point of her slipper...
