...likeness of a curly haired German Jew, low of collar, loose of tie-seemingly no great one. Yet at Max Reinhardt's beck there had come to Salzburg not only a world of celebrities but the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Vienna Male Choral Society, the famed Oscar Ziegler Rose Quartet, and a trainload of minor operatic and dramatic stars, stage hands, electricians, scene painters. A majority of these normally well paid minions of Art rendered notable homage to Max Reinhardt's genius of appearing gratis at the operas, concerts, recitals of his festival. Not only was Everyman played...
...forth a suede-gloved hand, touched an electric button, growled through tusk-like whiskers at his slinking abject secretary. To the old man came presidents, premiers, ambassadors. . . . Were they never so mighty, his strange greasy mongoloid visage and baleful luminous eyes kindled respect and an instinctive fear. As he rose from his desk, just prior to the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, Premier Clemenceau resembled so vividly a tiger about to spring that many of his associates have since confessed to feeling a twinge of animal terror course down their spines. . . .

It was a simple operation. But the child hacked, coughed, gasped-inhaled seeping blood into her lungs. She died, suffocated. Dr. Morris Smith, at the operating table, snatched a hypodermic syringe loaded with adrenalin (potent cardiac stimulant), shot the drug into her heart. Oxygen was pumped down her throat. After eight minutes of death she breathed again. The heart worked. She lives...
...French communes of Roquebillière, Belvédère, Saint-Martin-Vesubie and Lautosque became involved in a lawsuit over 16,000 acres of pasturage which their boundaries mutually adjoined. For 600 years the suit has prospered-while the Royal Houses of Valois, Orleans, Bourbon and Bonaparte rose, flourished and declined. Whole families of lawyers and litigants have been founded and have passed away. Recently the Court of Appeals at Aix rendered what it is hoped will be a final decision. By order of the Court the pasturage in question will be divided among the four communes...
