...obvious that if Southworth stayed-and his $50,000-a-year contract had three years to run-the Braves would have a reshuffled team. By last week, 13 Braves who had been on Southworth's varsity in May had been traded or sold and half a dozen more were on the block...
Wall Street's young bull market kept right on growing. On three successive days last week, trading topped 2,000,000 shares, making it the most active week since the big rise of May 1948. The Dow-Jones industrial average rose 3.37 points to 198.05, the highest since August 1946. Most spectacular rise: Superior Oil Co.

It is unlikely to tarnish Producer-Director DeMille's reputation for consistently making (as well as spending) more money on pictures than anybody else...
...remembered war," says George McMillan, onetime technical sergeant in the 1st Marine Division, "is sometimes very different from the fought war." In The Old Breed, his division's remembrance book, Author McMillan lets his facts about fighting fall where they may, gives the full treatment to the asides. In the process he achieves one of the most readable of the 100-odd unit histories of World War II already published...
