...sued for a separation by his lamzy divey, Betty. Dorothy Parker, 53, most-quoted lady with the '30s, was sued for divorce by Fellow Writer Alan Campbell, who complained that they had become strangers. And Mickey Rooney, 24, was sued for separate maintenance by wife Betty Jane (Miss Birmingham 1944), who said she was dissatisfied with her $10,000-a-year settlement after learning that Mickey's salary...
...Church. Like most of his work, Angel's new eight-foot Saint John is 13th Century Gothic in style, but, says Angel, "I use all my knowledge of the human figure, so what we call Gothic is Gothic with a difference." The difference is sometimes too marked to miss. Like most attempts to recreate in one century what came naturally in another, Angel's work has more finish than feeling.

...Miss Roche signed a contract with the union, the first in Colorado. But the shaky company, heavily over-capitalized by her father, began to slip when natural gas came into Colorado, went bankrupt in 1944 (TIME, Aug. 6, 1945). When liquidation is completed, in five or six years, Lewmurken, which owns 23% of the company, may have received as much as $300,000 in all. But the U.M.W. is shedding no tears over its loss. It was richly repaid in the unionization of all Colorado coal mines...
