...success formula is to start a publishing fad, develop another before its popularity has waned. First in the U. S. was he to drop capital letters from a magazine's typography, to "bleed" illustrations to a page's edge. Other dodges of his: asymmetric layouts, wide white margins ("space for your laundry list"), photographs with cockeyed perspective. Says he of his devices: "Their effectiveness begins to wear off when everybody does it. . . . If you are different, you are all right." In a field notorious for its vicious circle of mutual imitation, Agha usually manages to be different...
Protestant aumônier général is France's most famed Protestant-tall, white-haired, meticulous Rev.

These citizens could count themselves honorary pallbearers of Cardinal Mundelein. For, instead of designating a handful...
...Walter P. Chrysler sat last week at his home on the shore of Long Island's Little Neck Bay. Not for months had he been seen around the docks where in days of health he loved to tinker at his motorboat engines with his derby awry and his white shirt rumpling up under his suspenders. Not for more than a year had his quick laugh been heard in any of the 24 Chrysler plants. His friends feared that Board Chairman Walter Chrysler, burned out at 64 by the gruelling drive from the roundhouse to a paneled office, would never...
