...Honey ..." Waldron still spins such platters as Bebop Baby and Black Slacks, still chatters on about his sponsor's solid products, still gives the latest news bulletins every half-hour. But in between, he must find out whom Bassanio in The Merchant of Venice married, define "scyphus," reel off the precautions that should be taken when making an atomic reactor or ponder such posers as how fast a snowball of a given diameter must go to melt on impact with a wall of a given temperature. Though he sometimes postpones the more difficult questions, he usually finds something...

During the war, he was in one of the last units of the US Cavalry and was shipped to India, China and Burma. After the war he studied painting in Spain under the GI Bill for a couple of years.

With that alert from a famed but fictitious merchant vessel,* simulated hell broke loose in the North Atlantic.

The founder of the family fortunes was Jamsetji Tata (1839-1904), son of a Bombay merchant. Jamsetji went to England to study industrial techniques, went back to India and started a cotton mill. The mill grew into other enterprises. To cap his lifework, Jamsetji dreamed of starting an iron and steel mill. He died before his plans could be carried out, but three years later, in 1907, his sons started such a mill. Informed of their plans, Sir Frederick Upcott, chairman...
...since he joined the paper, Miller has sold his Enquirer sweepings to the Chronicle and three other dailies, two of which-the Erie (Pa.) Times and the Cincinnati Times-Star-have dropped him. The third, the New Orleans Item, deleted the Nixon item from Miller's copy. Memo-Merchant Miller uses the same raw material to tape-record 30-second hotspots that are used around the clock by 15 radio stations (top price: $50 weekly). Now Miller has filmed his first TV keyhole show (which he hopes to sell to WXEX in Richmond, Va.), and will sign a syndication...
