...Disturb. Otto Wilson smashed his fist against her as soon as she had taken off her clothes. Her neck was thin. After she had stopped breathing he remembered his knife-left behind at the Barclay. He walked to the washbowl, rubbed his face with soap & water, and shaved. Then he lifted out the razor blade, knelt beside the body on the floor, and pressed down with the thin bit of steel. He cut his hand. But he lingered awhile. On the way out he stopped before the desk clerk and said: "My wife is sleeping. Please don't disturb...

At 9:30 p.m. Vice President Wallace, whose doggedly devoted campaigning had brought him both sneers ("the Johnny Appleseed of 1944"), and cheers (louder at Madison Square Garden than those for Truman), became the first to "concede" a Democratic victory.

This leaves the weather clear and the track fast for a neck-and-neck finish, shared by Mr. Wayne and a fierce, rough-coated local filly (Ella Raines...
...André Malraux (Man's Hope; Man's Fate), radical novelist, wrote one book (published in Switzerland as Les Noyers de l'Altembourg), lived with the Maquis and F.F.I., became a colonel. Wounded, captured, liberated in time's nick during the invasion, thin, nervy Malraux is now fighting at the front. ¶ Jean Cocteau, famed Surrealist specialist in films and plays, had trouble when collaborationists released rats and tear gas in the theater where one of his plays was put on; they also punched his nose when he refused to salute a pro-German parade...
