...right halfback, Charlie Steele played a fine game on two heavily bandaged legs. With his speed cut in half, Steele still was magnificent on defense, and his passes set up one goal and nearly led to another. Munro had expected to start Bill Driver in Steele's spot, but the tough halfback refused to be benched. Many, including Munro, have said that Steele is the most improved player on the squad; his effort Saturday was a sterling display of talent and know...
Like Chrysler's Valiant sedan, the new model is neat and nimble. It has the same 106.5-in. wheelbase and six-cylinder 101-h.p. canted engine as the Valiant sedan, will come in two-seat and three-seat (six-nine passengers) models. In both versions the seats will fold down to provide 72.3 cu. ft. of cargo space (v. 95.8 cu. ft. for the regular Plymouth wagon).

Leo was the art pundit and collector in those early days, but he was everlastingly tinkering with his psyche, so that when a San Francisco spinster named Alice Babette Toklas appeared, "soft, small, and warmly murmurous," Gertrude switched boon companions for life. The two gentle ladies from America enjoyed living in the eye of the bohemian hurricane. There was the writer André Salmon, who foamed at the mouth with delirium (he later claimed it was soap) and nibbled the trimmings on Alice Toklas' hat. There was Alfred Jarry, an absinthe-minded playwright...
