...blanket charge of conspiracy to loot Waterbury of better than $1,000,000. Last week a jury of Connecticut laborers, farmers and housewives, after a trial that had lasted nearly eight months (TIME, Dec. 26), finally cogitated the conduct of Hayes & Co. Eager crowds, including Cinemactress Rosalind Russell (home from Hollywood on vacation), packed in and around the courtroom to hear the verdict: "Guilty." Tears filled the hard eyes of Boss Hayes, 56. "It was in the cards," he gulped, but he strode out of court with his chin up. State's Attorney Alcorn broke his 30-year precedent...

Last December the aged hero got so mad at Nazi hecklers at a Budapest opera that he left his box, climbed...
...small Lake Tashaul, nearly dry, with a narrow channel leading through sand dunes to the sea. There was no town near by; the country beyond the lake was devoted to sheep raising. This, said the British Admiral, was the place to build Rumania's great Naval base, home of the dreamed-of Rumanian Black Sea Fleet. It was also a convenient spot for refueling, since it was close to Rumanian oil fields, if the British Navy ever needed...
