...Nazi broadcast jazzed up this able Aux Ecoutes scoop to tell Germans that not $790 but $75,000 was given Mile de Fontages-a sum which no statesman in thrifty Europe would ever have to part with to a journalistic strumpet. At latest reports wounded Count de Chambrun, ever the gallant diplomat of the old school, was refusing to have the woman who winged him prosecuted. Said the Countess de Chambrun, former Princess Murat: "This journalist often saw my husband when she was in Rome writing news stories. She certainly was suffering from hallucinations when she suddenly appeared...

...hope to be the next Mayor of Boston" end the Curley question. For many years Massachusetts politicians have entertained rallies with descriptions of the ex-governor, and though the adjectives were always colorful, his friends and enemies could not seem to agree on the character of the evergreen statesman. Like Prosperity he is always just around the corner, and like a rubber ball the harder he is thrown the faster he comes back.
