...wish for, i.e., a place to live in unpressured alcoholic freedom, a place eventually to die in peaceful alcoholic stupor. Food and board are cheap: 50? a night for a flop; two fried eggs, coffee, toast, mush and potatoes for a quarter. Money is adequate: handouts in these generous times are fat; pharmaceutical companies buy blood for $5 a pint if the donor appears sober; relief checks and unemployment compensation are punctual. If all else fails, a day's dishwashing will net $8, and $8 is enough for a week's luxurious living in a civilization where showers...

Over violent objections from his own Cabinet, Radical Socialist Bourgès-Maunoury hammered out a loi-cadre (skeleton law) for Algeria that by the current standards of French opinion was almost generous. It would divide Algeria into half a dozen semi-autonomous regions in which Moslems would for the first time have equal voting rights with Algerian Frenchmen. After two years the regional assemblies were to be allowed to elect a "federal executive council." "With the loi-cadre," said Foreign Minister Christian...

Dorothy Malone and Jane Greer, though plotted in severe black and white, manage to make grey-toned human beings of themselves. Most important, Lon Chaney is presented in all his frail- ties. He was a jealous, generous, obstinate, softhearted man. Seldom in Hollywood's euphemistic tributes to its own has the tribute included so many ugly realities at the expense of glamorous garnish...
...firm's accumulated deposits from still-existing bank accounts, borrowed upwards of $17 million from commercial banks, used the $2,600,000 that he (and each of his brothers and sisters) got from the Allied sale of Krupp properties. With the help of this capital and generous tax write-offs from the West German government, Krupp had spent some $40 million in plant rebuilding by 1955. Since 1954, the firm has been making a profit...
