...troupe's second number, is a tart, witty spoof of people and places, Italian, Spanish, French, English, German. In one of its six segments, Dos, an adventure-bent minx, appears in a saucy blue corselet with a black lace fringe. She is hounded, and eventually grounded, by twin Mrs. Grundys in black mantillas who shadow her every move on angry little sandpiper feet, then go skittering triumphantly off, presumably to tell the neighbors all about...

That was in 1949, two years after London Fur Broker John Cobb set a new land speed record, gunning his twin-engined, 2,500-h.p. Railton Mobil Special up to 394.196 m.p.h.

Time and again, the transplanted kidney began to fail as his body tried...
...forth in new directions. This spring he committed $20 million to six major high-rise developments in Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, and earmarked $100 million more to be spent in the next five to seven years. Included in the plans: a giant business center containing twin 15-story office buildings, a tower of 100 apartments and a 250-car parking lot. Before a shovel turned, Schlesinger had leased 60% of the space...
