...your misrepresentation which pained me most, in fact desolates me to the extent that I am unfit for work, is your statement that I weigh 200 Ib. My most egregious vanity is that I now weigh 182 Ib. which is exactly 4 Ib. more than I weighed 30 years ago when I played baseball and boxed in the light heavyweight class. Finally, especially if you ever deal with me again, for -'s† sake get a new photograph of me. The Bain News Service, No. 255 Canal Street, New York City took a pretty good one of me when...

It is on the contrary a powerful and convincing picture of which the ethical values are important because, in his treatment of a coal-mine disaster on the Franco-German border, Director Pabst has implied them so artfully...
Before the War, William A. Wilson was a chemist. After the War he was an invalid, unfit for strenuous work. In Springfield, Mo. he tried raising pigeons and guinea pigs, failed to make a living. Then he met H. B. Sutter, a fruit grower, who suggested raising white mice for scientific experiments. Two years ago they bought 20 mice, paired them. Every three to six weeks a white mouse produces a litter of eight to twelve white mouselets, who within three months are themselves producing litters of eight to twelve white mouselets. Last week the Wilson-Sutter mousery consisted...
