Repealing the Toll. Singer arrived at Scripto during a crisis year in which profits plummeted 49%. Sluggish capi tal spending, vacillating management and a reluctance to diversify were taking a heavy toll. Singer, who tried his hand briefly as a guard for a profession al basketball team after dropping out of William and Mary in 1936, had just completed four years as president of Chicago's mattress-making Sealy Inc., where he boosted annual sales from $56 million to $81 million.

Said Colombia's Carlos Sanzde Santamaria, astute chairman of the Alianza's key planning committee: "We have made great...
...Charlotte, mir him ek guer! [Charlotte, we love you]," cried thousands of weeping, waving burghers, crowding around the palace, right across the street from the showrooms of the capi tal's chief undertaker. At 68 the longest-ruling monarch in Europe, Grand Duchess Charlotte abdicated in favor of her son, Jean Benoit Guillaume Marie Robert Louis Antoine Adolphe Marc d'Aviano, 43, who promised to strive to "ban all that remains of moral and material misery" in his domain...
