Operating from these quarters, Varnoff sends his best monster to fetch prospects. The monster's name is Lobo and he is of Tibetan origin. But the trouble comes when Lobo falls in love with an Occidental girl, a hard-hitting reporteress named Miss Laughton. Lobo, who is really a gentle soul, cannot stand to see Miss Laughton undergo the invariably fatal process of reracination. Lobo turns on his master. The results are catastrophic...
...modernity, there is a suggestion that Varnoff may be past his prime. His most successful scenes are those in which he looks back on his past with a resigned stoicism. "Home," he says wistfully, "I have no home." Lobo, too, is troubled. Though he starts as a noble savage, soon his soft-heartedness gets the best of him.

If we are going to curb speculation entirely, we will have to do away with free markets of every kind...
Lesbia learned golf from her father, an ex-caddy and high-70s amateur named Joe Lobo (the Spanish surname means wolf). Her first big victory came two years ago in the Mexican Women's Amateur, when Lesbia was only a junior in San Antonio's Thomas Jefferson High School. Since then, Joe Lobo, an engraver who lives above his own shop, has been working overtime to finance his daughter's travel to tournaments. Nowadays Lesbia also gets a helping hand from admiring fellow Texans, who give her a lift to tournaments, sometimes arrange for her to stay...
