...Hughes' handwriting dating back to 1936. That is manifestly impossible in at least one instance if the Swiss are correct in saying that the second check was signed in a bank officer's presence (the first check was not available to Osborn at the time the 19-item chain of holographic evidence was assembled and attested). But that one break in the chain may not necessarily invalidate all the other links...
...deadline pressure, Baker does a remarkable job freshening overworked subjects.

History proves a perishable item when a father, failing to convince his son of the patriotic emotion released by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, concedes that it was a day that "really hasn't survived in infamy as well as we thought it would...

With that the dictates of religious sensibility gave way to the laws of supply and demand. Their rarity guaranteed, the Brooks kachinas have become an Arizona collectors' item...

Educational toys are also making gains; one popular item is a "talking clock" that teaches kids how to tell time. The Barbie doll is holding her own despite competition from her more glittering sisters who eat, tell time and talk on the telephone. G.I. Joe, a boys' doll that used to be outfitted in military togs, has been redecorated in deference to antiwar sentiment. He now often appears in the garb of an astronaut or aquanaut...
