Died. Field Marshal Paul Ludwig Ewald von Kleist, 73, German World War II tank commander, exponent and early practitioner of the blitzkrieg; of circulatory difficulties; in a Russian prison camp.

Even if merged, steelmen noted, Youngstown and Bethlehem would still be second to U.S. Steel, with assets of $2.3 billion (v. Big Steel's $3 billion...
...kill herself. Hot air coming out from a steam laundry. Hot, stifling air. Bernice didn't work in the laundry but she wished that she did so the hot air would kill her. She wanted to be stified. She needed torture to be happy. She also needed a good swift clout on the side of the face." Or there's "Christmas afternoon, done in the manner, if not the spirit of Dickens...
