...Marcello Hallecker of Naples, is shown on TIME'S cover this week. Typical of many a presepio of the period, the scene has been arranged on a replica mountainside 12 ft. across. The manger itself is all but obscured by the teeming, noisy crowd that moils about the inn, oblivious of the vertiginous angels or of the event they herald. And yet the actions of the ingeniously lifelike, exquisitely crafted figures-whether they eat or drink or play music or sell vegetables-is suffused with a glaze of color and a glow of pleasure that speak of Christmas...

The opportunities to pick up valuable trade secrets are enormous." The Dearborn (Mich.) Inn has received an unusually large amount of income for its top-floor rooms; the inn just happens to overlook the Ford test track in Dearborn. One automan, who confessed to the Harvard men that he had gone "too far," telephoned the top office of a competitor, got information on a new model by realistically...
