...intriguing report that Dinis was investigating last week was the Manchester (N.H.)

Five of the calls, said the Union Leader, were placed before midnight.

But others rebelled, notably the powerful German miners' union. The miners figured out that for every ton of coal they dig out of the ground, Arndt collects...
...wife, former Austrian Princess Heñriette von Auersperg, who is four years older than he, and for the many men friends whose company he cherishes. "If Ruhrkohle takes over the responsibility of paying for Arndt, the state will be financing his playing," said Horst Niggermeier, a union official.
