...picnics unproductive and insect ridden, there is no reason to despair in the springtime. For spring is the variety season in Boston; there's more than a football game or a basketball fix to keep your interest up weekends.

In three short days, Frank Costello could see the destruction of the power and the respectable veneer he had been 35 years abuilding...
Negotiation with the Chinese Communists is probably the only way of preserving even a veneer of world peace.

Next month, at a new $2,000,000 plant in Anderson, Calif., he will start production of a new plywood, "Novoply," whose exclusive U.S. rights he bought from its Swiss inventor. It is, says Ottinger, the first successful use of waste wood chips as a satisfactory center for plywood panels, will cut production costs so tremendously...
