Died. Margaret Anglin, 81, sad-eyed, Junoesque tragedienne, one of the greats of the American stage; in Toronto. Born in the Canadian House of Parliament (where her father, as Speaker of the House of Commons, had quarters), Actress Anglin began in a bit part on Broadway, achieved fame overnight in 1898 as Roxanne in Richard Mansfield's production of Cyrano de Bergerac, made her greatest popular success (in 1906) in William Vaughn Moody's The Great Divide...
...Sad Note. Freed on $7,500 bail, Christine at week's end was home again, intending to go back to classes, faced with a possible trial for vehicular homicide and grand larceny. She wandered aimlessly through the Nystroms' three-story Georgian house, once sat down to pen a short, sad note to Sperling's wife and son: "I wish it could have been me, instead of he, who died."

With revenues estimated at $73.5 billion-or less-next year and a budget of $73 billion to $74 billion, the U.S. will probably be in for deficit financing and, as Treasury Secretary Robert Anderson conceded, a long-delayed rise...
Girlish Sins. The Diary is full of the fun, the beauty, and some of the pain of growing up in a primitive town where recently freed slaves were still living with their old masters by choice. Helena is by turns gay and sad, willful and full of remorse for her girlish sins. But one thing she is from beginning to end-a fine little writer, with a gift for precise observation that many an adult writer develops only after years of practice. She is now 77, wrote nothing else that got into print. But to the small shelf of notable...
