Potent and almost omnipotent is Signor Benito Mussolini, but not plural. Though he count himself up 1,000 times he must still total himself-one. Last week, however, the cheerful Dictator with the smouldering eyes and confident uplifted chin made the best of his physical singularity by turning himself into a legal majority of 7 in his cabinet...
...Corporations; and 7) Colonies. Since the Dictator has held the first six of these portfolios for many a month (TIME, June 16), he really did no more last, week than snatch for himself the Ministry of Colonies. Thus he became a One Man Majority of 7/13ths. Additionally, of course, Signor Mussolini is Head of the State (Il Capo), Leader of the Fascist Party (Il Duce), Prime Minister, and Chairman of the new Fascist Grand Council-now the supreme organ of State (TIME...

Martha Hanau, the supreme swindleress. Even the angry mobs of people she had ruined dubbed...
Reputedly the engagement was broken because His Majesty, a puppet of Signor Benito Mussolini, now aspires to wed a Royal princess. If his fanatical Moslem subjects permit him to turn Roman Catholic he may espouse Princess Giovanna of Italy. If that much mooted match proves infeasible, the Moslem King might conceivably marry one of the Moslem daughters of His Majesty Fuad I of Egypt. Unquestionably any princess who marries King Ahmed Zogu takes her life in her hands and risks the imminent possibility that her husband may turn corpse...
