...that, on the day before the rescue of Zappi and Mariano, a Soviet plane photographed them from the air, and that a third man or his remains was then visible, prostrate on the ice.

Their Majesties' present Afric tour was preluded when they left Antwerp some weeks ago on the steamer Thysville, but began in earnest as they landed at Boma, in the mouth of Mother Congo. The big black toe of Congoland was their objective-namely the city of Elizabethville, which lies 900 miles inland, at the very toe and tip of the Belgian Congo, just where it touches Great Britain's colony of Northern Rhodesia (so named after its exploiter, Cecil John Rhodes).

The big fees and the prestige result from study and practice of corporation law, estate law, banking law and to a less extent divorce law. Criminal law is a subject left to the unscrupulous shyster, the political heeler, the occasional social reformer or great charlatan or utter cynic. It has been remarkable, therefore, to watch the increasing emphasis which the American Bar Association has felt it should lay, at its distinguished annual conventions, upon the criminal tendencies and condition of the land. It has made laymen wonder whether there is any relation...
