...your editorial policy of be-"little"-ing Tsar Boris of the Bulgarians (TIME, Feb. 7). His country may be "little" in comparison to yours, but he rules six times as many subjects as you have subscribers. . . . He himself may be "little" compared with the giant of Sweden, or the barrel-like Göring, but so is the average man, on or off the throne. He has been called "fairly tall" by those who know...

Barrel-chested Son-in-Law Miller and youthful Son-in-Law Felis, both professional wrestlers, took a night off during the trial to wrestle in nearby Hannibal, Mo. where Miller earned $20. But when the troupe realized that the 13 counts on which each was held, carried aggregate maximum jail sentences of 65 years and $75,000 in fines, they giggled less. Son-in-Law Miller offered to wrestle Assistant U. S. District Attorney...
