...Pancia." Toscanini himself is still in fighting trim. He is slightly heavier than he once was, but likes to point to his midriff and say, "Look, no pancia.'" He can still bound up stairs two at a time, although he seldom does because, he says, people think it's undignified. Often before rehearsals he jumps up on an office couch, feet together, to test his legs. Before a recent performance, he jumped up & down trying to reach the ceiling, crying, "I am an old man. Why has God afflicted me with the blood of a 17-year...
They come in two price classes, though the exact prices have not yet been set. One, the Lincoln Cosmopolitan, has about the same wheelbase as the 1948 Lincoln, but is slightly heavier and is expected to sell for a little more (over $3,000). The other, called only the Lincoln, is a little shorter, lighter, and will probably sell in the $2,500-$2,700 price class, below the price of the 1948 Lincoln.

Dignity, majesty, and beautiful gloom, rather than brilliant skimming coloured parabolas, provide the keynote of his style." With his tall, elegant stoop and long golden beard, Christopher had the aspect of a late Roman emperor, and it was this aspect, apparently, that on one fateful occasion tempted the jovial prince to empty a glass...
...hardheaded thinking. Japan's mired economy, which would sink into complete bankruptcy if it were not for American food and raw materials, had to be headed on a new road leading toward economic self-sufficiency. SCAP wanted a balanced budget, which Katayama had not been able to achieve. Heavier taxes, higher government commodity prices would be necessary. Social Democrats boggled. The crisis came at a party convention last month. Left-wingers voted against continued support of the coalition. Katayama, realizing that his job was ending, let out a sigh: "All I want is sleep, sleep...
