Died. Major General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, 63, organizer and first superintendent (1921-36) of the New Jersey state police, whose name became known around the world after the 1932 kidnaping of 20-month-old Charles A. Lindbergh Jr.; of a perforated ulcer; in West Orange, N.J. New Jersey's Governor Harold G.

Sometimes she struck some keys with her elbow, but she never missed a note, and her hands pounded away with incredible precision. Dorothy Donegan. 32, was giving the well-heeled, well-liquored...
Also on the positive side, Dr. Jordan holds that ulcer victims need not punish themselves with dreary diets if they use discrimination and good sense. To prove it, she co-authored (on the advice of The New Yorker's late dyspeptic Editor Harold Ross) Good Food for Bad Stomachs. Published in 1951, it is still selling, is leaded for a new edition...
