King without a Country. Belgium's tall, balding, repudiated King Leopold III was winding up an enforced St. Wolfgang vacation which had really been no vacation at all-just a parade of visiting politicians and prelates exhorting him to return to, or keep out of Belgium. But the Belgian Parliament had decided that he should not come home to Brussels. Last week the Swiss Government gave him permission to move into Switzerland, probably to his late father's chateau on Lake Lucerne. It was from there that he had set out ten years ago on the fatal motor...
Formidable Lingo. The Freudians' Yearbook (International Universities Press; $10) contains contributions from Dr. Brill; Dr. Gregory Zilboorg (the apostle to the publishers, who psychoanalyzed Marshall Field III and Ralph McAllister Ingersoll); Dr. Karl A. Menninger (head of Topeka's famed Menninger Clinic); Dr. Franz Alexander (high priest of Chicago's Institute for Psychoanalysis). Laymen who would like to take a peek inside the temple will have a hard time; the services are conducted in a formidable lingo, which puts new meanings to such familiar words as sublimation, transference and catharsis, and uses such arcane runes as abalienation...

...London had a foreign king, a nourishing stock exchange, a wealthy merchant class, and a war with France. All four sorely needed a bank. Harassed, Holland-born King William III of Orange, whose war-financing was down to the level of the nation's hock shops, asked a willing Parliament to approve the establishment of a Bank of England. Soon after, a corporation was formed and ?1,200,000 raised by public subscription. With 19 employes, and a dim consciousness of its mission, the bank opened for business in Mercers' Chapel. In 1734 it moved to a building...
Platinum-haired, crusading Marshall Field III rode his white charger into the rural South last week. Aiming to make conservative U.S. farmers less sot in their ways, he bought the dingy, drab, 105-year-old Southern Farmer, which circulates 325,000 copies every month through the home districts of many a conservative Southern congressman. As editor and publisher he promptly installed long, lean, leftish Aubrey Williams, whom the Southern senatorial conservatives helped vote down as Rural Electrification Administrator last spring...
