...bestseller lists, said S.R.L., reporting bookstores are not weighted as to sales volume. "Thus, the Greenwood Book Shop in Wilmington speaks with the same power as Marshall Field in Chicago, largest book outlet in the Midwest . . ."

Said Harcourt a month ago, in an ad in the Times: Mountain is actually leading the list. If any publisher could show better sales on a "list...
...Russ Greenwood '39 returns today for the three-meter dive. Ulen calls him the Crimson's "best all-time diver," and three consecutive firsts in the Eastern Intercollegiates from 1937 to 1939 bear out this statement.

Greenwood Mills announced a new $21 million expansion program; Sun Oil Co., a $70 million program; members of the American Gas Association will spend $3.3 billion. Westinghouse Electric Corp., which reported an alltime record in appliance production for September, saw no letup. Said Vice President J. H. Ashbaugh: "We are planning...
Second on the list of attractions is "Bad Sister," an English offering that ranks far below the usual foreign product. Margaret Lockwood and Joan Greenwood, two very nice-looking dames, take the audience to the Riveria and Finland on a pair of tragic love affairs.
