...banks failed (TIME, Aug. 24), depositors were receiving their first liquidation checks last week: 30% from one bank, 15%, and two of 10% from the others. "I am through with banking and from now on I will confine my efforts to manufacturing," said Clement O. Miniger, robust but lately pale president of Electric Auto-Lite Co. A hard-working businessman, Mr. Miniger was caught in the swirl of real estate and banking developments by the boom, found himself a round $5,000,000 poorer when Toledo was forced to take stock of itself. Now, to recoup losses, he is working...
Meanwhile, sailing for Europe was Fabien Sevitzky, nephew of Boston's Sergei Koussevitzky who dropped the first four letters of his name some years ago so that his career would not be just a pale reflection of his illustrious uncle's. Sevitzky, like Koussevitzky, is a double-bass virtuoso; like his uncle exceedingly handsome, well-groomed.

Fighting every inch of the way, three men stood out against the advance of Fascism in Germany last week: pale, bespectacled Chancellor Heinrich Bruning; white-haired Paul von Hindenburg; and their faithful lieutenant, Minister of the Interior and of War Wilhelm Groener.

Municipal elections were held in Stuttgart. Hitlerites nearly doubled their previous vote. The provincial diets of Oldenburg...

Presently pale, fretful Ely Culbertson had his children taken in hand, sat down with his wife to start a game of bridge against Sidney Samuel Lenz and Oswald ("Ossie") Jacoby. It was a match of 150 rubbers, expected to last for six weeks, to decide, theoretically, the merits of the famed Culbertson "approach-forcing" system as compared to the Lenz version of the "official" system (TIME...
...blood--"bleeding at the pores with dissolution"...the ghastly laughter of a drunken man walled in alive in a dank corner of the catacombs...the hot metal walls of a chamber converging to force a victim into a measureless pit--these objects of horror entered the world when a pale-browed, black-haired dreamer took another half-bottle a hundred years ago. He was a precocious lad. Scarcely out of diapers, he stood on a table declaiming verse, inspired by a glass of liquor. Later trips to the bottle heightened his fancy in more weird and horrible manner. They...
