...took the jury just 51 minutes to sweep Wexler's story into the discard, bring in a verdict of guilty on all counts. Wexler's jaw sagged and he gulped hard as the judge fined him $80,000, sentenced him to ten years...
...dress, wriggled up on the stool and stretched down for the pedals, the audience knew that it had not been fooled at all. Her hands could barely span an octave but they sounded chords which were rich and strong. Beethoven's Pathétique needed more sweep than she could give it.

When President Roosevelt made overtures last week to the Bolsheviki (a Russian word meaning "majority") he did not write to that swart Asiatic Russian, alert Josef Stalin (see S above) because the Dictator is not head of the State, but Secretary or Leader of the Communist Party, the only party permitted to exist in Russia. Instead President Roosevelt addressed...
