...Bolshevik Litvinoff in a predicament. Thereupon, with all the authority of the Soviet Foreign Office, the Butenko in Rome was branded an "impostor." although Commissar Litvinoff observed darkly that "torture" might have been applied in Italy to extort statements hostile to Stalin from a Russian of some sort. In Soviet papers it was said that Rome papers were printing pictures of "Butenko" which did not resemble him in the least and Soviet papers printed his true picture taken in Moscow. Only last week was it possible to place this beside the Rome picture for comparison and this was possible only...
When Marcel Rochas, a celebrated Parisian dressmaker, opened a branch shop in Manhattan last September, merchandisers spoke of his "business daring." No other important Parisian had ever dared sell retail in Manhattan in competition with stores like Saks-Fifth Avenue which bought from him wholesale in Paris. The sort of ladies who made up M.

I've also done my part, I think, since I've supported a whole flock of scholarships. What I'm coming to is where does my son Pete come in? I naturally want him to go to Harvard and follow in my footsteps in the higher income...
...will invite other experts to debate their views in its pages. Whatever Mr. Spiro's policy, he will have difficulty matching the frankness of the final Bridge World editorial while under Culbertson ownership: "Every bridge writer with the facilities to do so is even now working on some sort of book, any sort of book, about five-suit contract. There will be a quick sale for it. The public can discover its unsoundness later, when the money is already in the till. Naturally, the editors of the Bridge World are in the thick of it, getting their own book...
