...When I turned to the part on cancer, I'd sadly snuff it out." Business Editor Joe Purtell, who has smoked little since corn-silk days, takes a cigar "when given to me," smoked two while editing the cover story (both were gifts). Purtell's favorite smoking instrument is his ancient, 13-in. churchwarden, now held together by tobacco tar and Scotch tape...
...Washington in 1922, the U.S., Britain, Japan, France and Italy signed a treaty limiting construction of capital warships.

"If they are to prepare for war," he bellowed, "I wish they were half a million. It would be that much easier to leave them there and encircle them...
...this kind of laughing, guard-down approval, the U.S.S.R. is footing the circus' whole $150,000 South American travel bill. The weekly 0 Cruzeiro announced it was well aware that the show was an "instrument of Soviet penetration," but added that "a circus is always welcome anywhere on earth, and the Moscow circus is certainly welcome here.'' Next targets: Argentina, Chile, Peru...
