...learn the secrets of his ruthlessness and success. But Rhett had made the full circle, come to despise money-grubbing even more than he had hated the exaggerated chivalry of the Old South. He put all his hopes in their daughter, was heartbroken at her death, developed a queer, tormented love and hatred for Scarlett. When Scarlett could finally get Ashley she found she did not want him, that her contradictory passion for Rhett meant more to her. But whether she could ever win him again, readers must go through more than Gone With the Wind to find...
Result was a queer, behind-the-scenes friendship struck up between the Mahatma, whose prestige was to ebb slowly away thereafter, and Sir Samuel Hoare, who was to give the 350,000,000 souls of India a new Constitution, the longest measure ever enacted by the Mother of Parliaments (TIME, Aug. 12).

And from their point of view, the strangest thing about Friedrich was that he was a good business man. He made such a suc cess of the English mill at Manchester that he was eventually made a partner...

The report, current in New York, that the Germans have mined the entire line of French border fortifications, amuses us for some queer reason. It seems so silly, the French sitting in their great concrete bomb-shelters waiting for the war while the Germans quietly crawl under the forts and leave tons upon tons of T.N.T., after which they return to a lusty meal of frankfurts and sauerkraut, the enfants de la patrie...
