...building up a cone. Most likely it has been in that process for centuries." Superstitious natives think otherwise. Some say the Didicas Rocks are the steeples of an old Spanish church, submerged long ago by God to punish some wicked Spanish friars. The smoking crater, they insist, is a hole in the church dome, a chimney for incense being burned by the long-dead friars as an act of repentance...
...appeared in eight West End plays, and kept on climbing. In 1929 he married Elsa Lanchester, who had played his secretary in Arnold Bennett's Mr. Prohack. Elsa, a redhead, was the toast of the Bloomsbury intellectuals. She had danced with Isadora Duncan, was part-owner of a hole-in-the-wall nightclub, and was getting tired of being called "elfin."

Pocketing the $2,000 prize for his 22-under-par romp, Burke cocked a calculating eye at next month's prestige-heavy Masters tournament in Augusta, Ga. Said he: "I have hopes of holding...
...when the record business was good (sales were close to $200 million last year) and getting better. Liberty's explanation for the cuts: 1) record prices were too high, 2) manufacturers were ready to cut them, and 3) the list prices have been violated left & right for months. Hole-in-the-wall shops have not only been selling Victor and Columbia records at 30% or more off list, but selling pirated or bootlegged brands even cheaper...
