...they knew that mild carbon monoxide poisoning simulates alcoholic intoxication two eminent Englishmen, John Scott Haldane, 69, honorary professor and director of Birmingham University Mining Research Laboratory, and Leonard Erskine Hill, 63, famed physiologist, recently saved a hapless Englishman from gaol. The fellow and two friends had drunk some beer before he took them for a ride in his closed motor car. The car bogged in a pool of water. Trying to pull out, he raced his motor for about 15 minutes, when he became drowsy. A constable came along to scold. He smelled the driver's sour breath...
Second and most macabre of the detectives' stratagems was a scene enacted every night last week in the more popular Düsseldorf beer halls.

Full of good talk and temperamental skirmishes, the play reveals a sophisticated degree of analysis. It is the first production of the Theatre Guild Studio, experimental offshoot of the Theatre Guild employing its younger...
HANNA-Thomas Beer-Knopf ($4). The Man. "Hanna's luck" was proverbial, but like so many easy explanations of success it will not bear scrutiny. Even in business he had his ups and downs; in politics no less. For five years he, a millionaire, tried to make a newspaper pay, and failed. But he was lucky in his name. That name, with its blended suggestions of some old Roman or Carthaginian proconsul, was no title for a mediocrity; Mark Hanna sounded best as either a bum or a conqueror. He was a conqueror. Marcus Alonzo Hanna, son of Leonard...
