...show signs of growing up. There is the World's Largest Marble, seven feet in diameter, in a gleaming house made all of marbles. Forty-seven at a time the Fair's young visitors may operate a complete miniature railroad system. Or they may thread a hedge maze, speed over 15 miniature amusement rides, see plays, marionettes, animal shows, movies in a Junior League-run theatre...
Last week Philadelphia's blond-mopped maestro tried a new move, exalting the engineers whom once he had scorned. In front of his dais on the Academy of Music stage a control desk was set up, with a maze of wires leading from it to the wings. Throughout the program LeRoy Anspach and Dunham Gilbert, two of Columbia Broadcasting System's crack engineers, sat there.

For though Westmorly and Randolph are separated by an intervening unit containing the Dining Hall, Common Rooms, Library, and C entry, the whole...
...could at least study the scriptures, and Maurice, aged thirteen, was consigned to the ecclesiastical limbo. Twenty years later he wore the Miter of Autun. Thence for sixty odd years the imperturbable Talleyrand stood at the right elbow of every government that held sway in Paris. Through the maze of diplomacy and intrigue he walked, smiling ironically, drinking deeply and often of the champagne of life. M. Bernard de Lacombe has seen fit to describe him as the "chess player," calmly watching the whole turmoil of unrestrained human ambitions, toying in his delicate fingers the reins of Kingdom, Republic...
