...small children (in guttural Swiss-German), displays a mellow, Dutch-uncle patience with puzzled students. In conversation Barth is full of wisecracks-some pleasantly pixy, some theologian-arch. Once, asked by a stranger on the trolley car if he knew the great Karl Barth, he replied: "Know him? I shave him every morning...
...snooze. "Wake up!" squeals his darling daughter, knocking on his head with her knuckles-hard. "Ah, c'mon!" Mum squalls at the baby. "Yer not tryin'." Dad weaves toward the bathroom, battles an ancient geyser for five minutes, achieves a pathetic dribble of tepid water, starts to shave. "Breakfast!" Dad slumps groggily over his coffee.

The FTC then ordered that Colgate and Bates should never again falsely advertise shaving cream or use "spurious mock-ups or demonstrations for any product...
...Portuguese were under orders to wage a scorched-earth campaign. Only real damage that the Portuguese inflicted was to blow up the main water pipes outside of Pangim. Each guest at Pangim's Mandavi Hotel last week was given a single bucket of rusty well water to shave and bathe, and bootleg water sold at one rupee (14 cents) per pail. Obviously overmatched, and equipped with armored vehicles that were little better than museum pieces, the Portuguese defenders had surrendered quietly, and by last week they were packed off to prisoner-of-war camps, from where they will...
