...head of cattle at Paducah. Barkley had "no comment whatsoever" about a political future. But he has been busy making speeches wherever he can (e.g., to the Kentucky Chiropractors Association in observance of "National Correct Posture Week") and has been shaking a hand wherever he has found one stuck out of a sleeve. His closest friends believe he has decided to run for the Senate next year...
Contrary to advance gossip, Churchill kept a firm grip on all the powers and responsibilities of Prime Minister, and Anthony Eden, due to return from his convalescence at month's end, stuck to his Foreign Secretary's post.

Thompson, who had gained about 30 Ibs., had sprouted a foppish mustache, tinted his hair and mustache strawberry blond, his eyebrows roan...
...leading designer spends upwards of $50,000 a year just making sample hats for his showrooms, may take a full day to make just one original. In shoes, the daintier the product the more tedious, exacting and expensive the work. And while it may seem that women get stuck when they spend $25 or more for a pair of shoes that will last only a few months, it is not easy for manufacturers to get rich on the deal. I. Miller, one of the leading makers of expensive women's shoes, makes a mere 4% gross profit...
