...white boxer, Ch. Barrage of Quality Hill, seemed tired by the two-day competition and stood before Judge Godsol with forefoot splayed. No one could look at the imported English Pekingese, Ch. Chik I'Sun of Caversham, and not remember that last year's winner was the toy poodle Ch. Wilber White Swan; for a toy to win twice in a row was unlikely. The cocky Airedale, Westhay Fiona of Harham, stumbled and broke gait. The Dalmatian, Ch. Roadcoach Roadster, defied show-ring manners with the curving droop of its tail. But through all the long interlude...
...lived it up: down the corridors of the hospital he loped (as best he could) with his toy cowboy gun hanging from his hip. Back home at Blair House, there were cowboy and Indian suits, a drum, a road-scraper, a Mickey Mouse hat, a bicycle, lollipops, a toy tractor from the President. As if proof were needed that children are the same the world over, he presided at a children's party at the Saudi Arabian embassy and started a typical childlike ruckus of his own.

To expand, he leased...

Her retinue also included her husband, Millionaire Italian Industrialist Giovanni Meneghini, ticketed modestly as a tourist-class passenger, but described in a lawsuit earlier in the week by Maria as the man "who owns me as a husband." At the airport, Diva Callas bumped into another tourist-class passenger, none other than fur-collared Baritone Enzo...
Republic Steel is projecting markets as far ahead as 1965. By then, it expects auto production to hit 10 million cars annually. Steel consumption will rise 36% in the appliance industry, another 34% in the office and household furniture, hospital equipment and toy industries. To meet the new demand, steelmen plan a 25% increase in their capacity by 1965, another 25% by 1975. Others are just as optimistic. Planemakers, who have the biggest backlog ($3.5 billion) of civilian plane orders in their history, feel that they are just getting started. "Of course I'm bullish," says Boeing President William...
