...Cardozo was sunning himself at Rye, N. Y. Mr. Justice Butler was golfing at Bluemont, Va. Mr. Justice Roberts was on his 700-acre farm near Kimberton, Pa. Mr. Justice Sutherland was on his 24th trip to Europe. Mr. Justice Stone loafed at his favorite island near Isle au Haut, Me.

...over-look analysis and confine himself to a sort of comatose reception of stimuli: it deals with the harrowing experiences of old Apple Annie, who, poverty-stricken in New York, has been keeping her daughter in Europe in the belief that her mother is a fancy lady, of the haut monde. It goes without saying that the daughter has to come home, suddenly: she is about to be married, and the old Count wants to look over mama before he exudes the paternal blessing.

Threatened in Chile by political agitation against their nitrate interests, in Manhattan, on their copper front, they faced the Belgian Congo's prolific Katanga. Nor were they alone in their fears of potent Union Miniere du Haut Katanga. Represented by Belgian Minister of State Emile Francqui and his cohorts, MM. Fernand Pisart & Camille Gutt, Katanga was forcing a hard bargain on a conference of the world's copper producers. Further curtailment of output to cut down the mounting supplies of copper on hand was the conference...
