...voice. "I am Pepe," she said, and she began to drink wine and smoke cigarettes, play cards, and write in the handwriting of the dead Giuseppe Veraldi. She told how his friends had drugged his wine, thrown him over the bridge and beaten him to death with an iron pipe. Then she acted out the crime. Eventually she returned to her normal self when the dead boy's mother ordered '"him" to leave her. Twelve years later a letter came from one of Giuseppe Veraldi's cronies, now living in Argentina, confessing to the crime just...
Though the U.S. oil pipeline system would gird the globe 7½ times, it is still not enough. In Houston last week, six oil companies (Continental, Standard of California, Gulf, Richfield, Shell and Superior) prepared to fill another gap in the system, jointly formed the Four Corners Pipe Line Co. to supply California with its first piped crude oil.

The units were his single, secret passion, which, he hoped, would call attention to the grave injustices done him since that day in 1931, when, as a generator wiper for metropolitan New York's United Electric Light & Power Co. (which later became part of the Consolidated Edison company), he was felled...
...appliances were softening the market for cold rolled sheets, bringing supply in line with demand for the first time since last summer's strike. But for the types of steel that make up most of production, there was no letup.
