...while, Verwoerd was content to stay on at the university, first as a lecturer in applied psychology, then as chairman of the new department of sociology. But gradually he began applying his trade in the politics of the Nationalist Party. In 1933, when Nationalist Prime Minister Barry Hertzog made a pact with the South African Party's pliable Jan Christian Smuts-whom Verwoerd considered a tool of the British-he was so disgusted that he joined Afrikanerdom's ultranationalist secret society, the Broederbond (brotherhood). With a young Transvaal lawyer named Johannes Strijdom, he founded Die Transvaler, an Afrikaans...
Hauled before Moscow City Court, reported the trade-union newspaper Trud, were nine persons charged with knitting together a nationwide operation that lifted cloth in wholesale lots from textile factories, sold garments fashioned from it at black-market prices. Behind it all, charged Trud, was one M. Rabinovich, 43, a textile engineer who had launched his nefarious enterprise 20 years ago by stealing from a Moscow mill employing invalid war veterans.

Among the balls, banquets and other ceremonial gatherings, the five met to discuss mutual economic and industrial development and the problems of the ailing Latin American Free Trade Association (LAFTA). A LAFTA ministerial meeting is scheduled for Montevideo next December, and the five nations gathered in Bogotá-all small and relatively undiversified-could well be trying to organize a pressure group to counteract the larger individual power of Mexico, Argentina and Brazil. Predictably, the five denied...
Never a Cipher. In the halcyon 1930s, Geoffrey Parsons was the city's most influential editorial writer; Stanley Woodward ran the best sports page in the business. The city editor was that celebrated Texan Stanley Walker, whom many consider the alltime champion in that trade. Walker issued just two ukases: "Do not betray a confidence, and do not knife a comrade." But he could make some pointed suggestions. A correspondent whose copy lacked enough punctuation once received a full typed page of commas. And in his book, City Editor, Walker wrote, "Pick adjectives as you would pick a diamond...
