Biggest reward for good behavior that Meshie can get is to ride in an open car or an elevator. At home she likes to scoot around on her kiddy-car. Since maturity, Meshie has become temperamental: on being scolded she sulks, will pay no attention to blandishments. When pleased she giggles; when excited she screams. To prospective buyers last week Dr. Raven issued one warning: when she is crossed, it takes four hefty...
...eight persons; and at the fare of $1.50 a plane would have netted $30 per hour, while operating costs might be figured at $40.

Once he scuttled through a sudden rain squall. Land notched the horizon far ahead. From there he flew over nearly nine hundred miles of "Islands in the Lesser Antilles. At St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands he got down. Speeches. When he left the following...
...revolutionist, remember his music for its brutality, its stark rhythms. Last week he made his U. S. debut with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra-and a great audience was surprised.* They had expected a bulky, grim-jawed man with personality to match. Instead they saw a frail little person scoot shyly around the orchestra's first-string men and bow his way almost meekly to the piano set out for him.
