...PICTURES, originally bought by General Tire & Rubber Co.'s Teleradio subsidiary for its film backlog (TIME, Aug. 1), will swing back into full operation as a major moviemaker.

One day in 1934, a creditor came calling who could not be turned away with fine language and fine wines. Pierre Michelin, tycoon of Michelin Tire Co., France's largest tiremakers, who had bought up an estimated 63% of Citroën's stock, told André Citroën: "Monsieur, you have nothing more to do here." Citroën lost the company, the Eiffel Tower lights winked out, and six months later Citro...
