This result was not unforeseen. Wednesday, Alan Steiner, president of the CCA, sent letters to all CCA members suggesting that his group had resigned itself to the probable loss of the election and that it might be "compelled" to elect a non-CCA councillor for mayor. The CRIMSON mentioned this possibility on Jan. 13, when one of the CCA men disclosed that his group was "screening" the Independents for possible choices...
...automobile men, had taken to each other at their first chance meeting two years ago. Six months later, full of hope and mutual admiration, they formed a partnership and bought a Nash agency (the T and M Motors) in Newport.

And he had high hopes that income and outgo would finally balance by the time fiscal 1955 begins next July...
...from Brazilians in a fantastic borrow-from-Peter-to-pay-Paul scheme (and thereby out-Ponziing Ponzi, whose operations never topped $15 million), Albuquerque found that he had gone broke. On the front page of his newspaper Diario do Rio, he printed a shattering notice: "On this date, for unforeseen reasons I am closing my commercial activities . . . Those who intuitively saw that my business would fail were right . . . I shall not run away . . . My creditors will be paid . . . Remain calm, my friends...
