...intrigues and his intolerance, he lost most of his friends; the only people outside his family whose affections he kept were Lenchen Demuth, the Marxes' lifelong, devoted servant (who could handle Marx even in his blackest moods) and Friedrich Engels, whom one acquaintance described as "the little Pomeranian." Engels, first with his father's money, then with his own profits as a textile manufacturer, paid Marx's bills. (In a letter to Engels Marx wrote: "I have worked out a sure scheme for getting some money out of your...
...veteran judge gave an equally careful going-over to each of the five other finalists in the ring-an English springer spaniel, a Pomeranian, a Boston terrier, a greyhound and a Doberman pinscher. But in the end, just before midnight, it was the Bedlington and his handler that he motioned to the ring's center. Champion Rock Ridge Night Rocket thus became 1948's top dog: "best in show" of 2,540 entries at the Westminster Dog Show, most prestigious event in U.S. dogdom...
Many a grandstand dog-lover wondered how judges could pick the little lamb over "real dogs." How on earth can a judge decide between a Pomeranian and a pinscher, anyway?

Painter Delvaux, Magritte thinks, "has exploited surrealism as he would have exploited pork-butchery...
Victor Moore, the theater's fatted Caspar Milquetoast, threw a stick in Manhattan's Central Park for his 2½-lb. Pomeranian. The Pomeranian went after the stick, and Actor Moore got a summons for letting the beastie off its leash. In an old revue sketch Moore played the role of a man who spits in a subway, fights a $2 fine, and winds up in the shadow of the gallows. In real life Moore just paid his $2 fine in court and tripped away. "If they issue summonses for dogs of this type," he croaked, "they should...
