Penny Fuller is an attractive enough Olivia, though she plays pretty close to the surface. Not only is she intent on a seven-year period of mourning for her brother, but she carries a black fan and even keeps her two sofas draped in black. In private she pops mints into her mouth from a pillbox. In her first meeting with Viola--Cesario she raises a smile by ticking off her virtues--lips, eyes, neck, chin--and then tucking her locket mirror into her bosom on the words "and so forth." She leaves no doubt that she is smitten...

By this year, the nation's cattle stock had dropped to a seven-year low of 116 million head, and the scarcity began to force prices...
Papa was a self-made Ruhr upstart who earned a bundle speculating in scrap after World War I, created a vast industrial empire, and earned a seven-year war-crimes sentence for making P.O.W.s do forced labor for Hitler. Flick Senior bounced back after serving only three years of his sentence. Released in 1950, he was ordered by the Allies to sell his rich holdings in either coal or steel. He chose coal and collected more than $50 million, which he used to build an even more prosperous empire based on petrochemicals, paper, steel-and Daimler-Benz stock. Today...
