...Bernard dogs have a record of ten centuries of heroic achievement behind them. But Dr. Jean Bremond was not thinking about records when he demanded last fortnight that all the dogs at the Great St. Bernard Hospice in Switzerland be destroyed, that the monks stop breeding them. If this were done, Dr. Bremond said he would not sue the monastery over the horrible death of his ten-year-old daughter, Marie-Anne, fatally mangled by a pack of St. Bernards as she and her father skied up to the hospice last month (TIME...
This was a triumph for the extreme Leftists, who hold that tips are humiliating. Declared Minister of Labor Jean Lebas during the heated Chamber debate: "The worker should not receive as alms what is his right!"

Neither the virility. nor yet the scurrility of Nathan's style is well imitated...
...exercised, the $10,000,000 must be paid in instalments of not less than $1,000,000 annually. The $250,000 down payment last week was split equally between Mr. Austin, his thrifty wife Bernice, his brother Jess, two sons, Wilfred and Kenneth, and his daughter, Mrs. Bonnie Jean Austin Sobrio. What the Austins will do with their fortunes is a mystery. Rugged old Mr. Austin once declared: "I have two sons, and half a million would probably make loafers out of them. . . . The boys will appreciate it more if they have to dig the money out themselves." The people...
