Love of Puttering. Throughout his career, Attlee remained as egalitarian as the Britain he hoped to build. His wife Violet often chauffeured him about in the family Hillman on his political rounds. He wore frayed clothes, smoked a little black pipe and cultivated the Englishman's love of puttering about a garden. The son of a lawyer, he attended Oxford and was a staunch Tory until he visited a London slum. The squalor turned the young lawyer into a social worker and socialist. When the Labor Party split in 1935 over the issue of pacifism, Attlee, a World...
...plenty to tell. The son of a Greek immigrant, he decided early to go for easy money rather than the legitimate proceeds of the small restaurant chain his father had built up from a pushcart. He began by swiping a briar pipe and a pair of sunglasses from a parked car, eventually worked his way up to an armed stickup. Caught and locked up, he proceeded to pry a board out of a fence around Mattapan State Hospital, where he was under observation, and began an ancillary career: jail breaking.

If the Ford strike lasts until Thanksgiving, former CEA Chairman Walter Heller last week warned the Economic Club of Detroit, the resulting drop in the gross national product could reach $4 billion...

You might one day be grateful for it, rather like you're grateful for your father...
...hero is a pipe-smoking industrialist by day, the head of the Danish underground by night, and a skin-deep thinker on the side ("The whole world is a bloody sickness"). Bad Nazis perform the usual tortures, while protesting "We are a civilized people." Good Germans lament, "What a day we live in!" Arnold even has the chutzpah to have a Jewish housewife prescribe the hot-chicken-soup cure for an ailing dog. Worse, he blithely puts 1967 American words in 1943 Danish mouths: after deciding "that wasn't the name of the game," a member of the underground...
