...into the ropes. Instantly Clay was on him, smashing lefts and rights to Cooper's slashed left eyebrow-so viciously that horsehair stuffing spewed from a split in one of his gloves. Blood spattered everywhere-over Clay, over Cooper, over the referee, over horrified fans in the 6-guinea seats. "Murder!

...trying desperately to get into Hitler's good graces. A cold opportunist, Ruprecht commits his anti-Nazi brother to a concentration camp, drowns a companion, betrays a business associate who is plotting against Hitler, sends off a dozen of his factory workers to serve as medical guinea pigs.

And he sometimes exhibits things just to keep Houston up to date with the latest fads. Last week, in the big hall designed by Mies van der Rohe that forms a wing of the original Greek revival building, he was showing something called Gorgo in New York-a papier-mache dinosaur walking...
...money to go to beauty parlors, sales of Gillette's Toni Home Permanents have fallen off-but Gillette gamely considers the trend good news for the economy as a whole. At Los Angeles' May Co. department stores, a $200,000 collection of primitive art from New Guinea is selling like sunglasses at $3 to $3,000 apiece. There is a boom in book and encyclopedia sales, and the cosmetics industry is lifting its face this year toward $2 billion in sales for the first time.
