...Stomach Tablets, Shoe-Blacking. Any Frenchman can be a candidate, may nominate himself if necessary. Busy candidates have campaigned by phonograph, hiring henchmen to play their speeches on street corners. As usual in Paris at election time, boxlike billboards surrounded many a tree trunk last week, for the State must supply to each candidate free billboard space. If the candidate, instead of advertising himself, used his space to advertise stomach tablets, shoe-blacking or mineral water, that used to be the candidate's own business-but no longer. Last week the threat of a 10.000-franc fine ($400) kept...
...Rome still remember the occasion two years ago when she paused uncertainly before a stylized picture of a nude Europa balanced on the back of a swimming bull and demanded in her booming voice, "Why is de cow sticking out de tongue?" With her hands folded over her stomach, she moved last week through the four galleries of the U.

...vicious twist. De Vito, grunting with unreasonable surprise, retaliated by trying to pluck off one of Londos's toes. For 21 min. 42 sec. the two groveled, grunted, snorted, glowered, slapped, twisted and oozed. Once De Vito bowled over Londos with a butt in the stomach. Finally Londos whirled De Vito around his head in an "airplane spin," threw him down with a loud thud, sat on top of his chest until old fat Ernest Roeber, who used to be a professional wrestler and now referees many of Londos's championship bouts, patted his back for winning...
...found traces of poison, probably some of the insecticide found on grass which the horse was known to have eaten (TIME, April 18). But they had found only two milligrams of arsenic, an amount so small that it should have been actually beneficial. They said Phar Lap had had stomach ulcers, died of acute indigestion which distended the muscles of his heart...
