...encourage full, honest returns on personal property for taxation, and thereby to lighten the heavy tax burden on real estate. Last week Crosby's own State Tax Department totted up the year's personal property assessments, and found that the patient had failed to respond to the operation. Total personal property reported by individual taxpayers was $433 million, 15% below last year. Looking over the county-by-county figures, Governor Crosby (who three weeks ago lost the G.O.P. nomination for U.S. Senator, largely because of the tax issue) found little to indicate that honesty is a popular policy...

Quips one friend: "He thinks music ceased...
...cram session, stunned but effective. He even manages to sputter a little Arabic, or words to that effect-"umptu niagda brruschk!"-when the occasion requires. Comes time for the concluding festivities in the Pharaoh's crypt, Taylor seems so tired of it all that he hardly bothers to respond to Actress Parker's subterranean snuggling-a fact which at least spares the moviegoer a sort of petting party in a coffin...
