...Lion at his club-the Capitol Palace-and Fats Waller at the Orient, and they'd let us sit in and cut in on the tips," Duke recalls. "Every day we'd go play pool until we made $2. With $2 we'd get a pair of 75? steaks, beer for a quarter, and have a quarter left for tomorrow." He did his own housework, including mending and pressing his tailor-made suits, always impeccably kept. Periodically, there was work for his five-man combo-Arthur Whetsel on trumpet, Otto Hardwick on bass and alto, Sonny Greer...
Despite the protests of old-line socialists, a pair of more practical-minded speakers put the case for the new CCF line. One was a convention visitor, British Socialist M.P. Richard Grossman, who reminded his Canadian counterparts that Britain's Labor Party had already acknowledged the need for both private and public enterprise (TIME, July 23).

Only 14 out of 49 starters finished, but race officials heaved a great sigh of relief. One death and a moderate assortment of bruises, broken bones and wrecked cars added up to what oldtimers have come to consider a "normal" race...
Unlike many other natural history movies-especially some in the current Disney cycle-it is not flossed up with camera tricks or laff-riot editing. When Secrets' love-smitten pair of octopuses meet, they do not croon to each other Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey; they simply mate, an act whose essential mechanics are obscured by a romantic flailing of tentacles...
