"One evidence of the change," wrote the Washington Evening Star's Garnett Horner from Gettysburg, "is the very fact that he held a news conference here at all yesterday."

In the first quarter this year, BOAC nudged out Trans World Airlines...

Mme. Straus said, "What a pity we can't choose someone else for our innocent," a line of the Duchesse de Guermantes in Remembrance. The laconic Dreyfus was credited with two apocryphal lines, "I've never had a moment's peace since I left Devil's Island," and "Shut up, all of you, or I'll confess...
