The woman turned out to be Maria Reiter, blonde, buxom and 49, now living quietly in a Munich suburb.

Inner Space & Pluck. Thus primed, the talent scouts welcomed buxom Contralto Francesca Friedlander, a Czechoslovakian refugee in a Moravian peasant costume, who explained that "on this beautiful morning I am going to bring you our rivers.

Tough-minded Liliuokalani tried to overthrow the constitution as Hawaii plummeted into the depression that followed President McKinley's punishing tariff law on sugar. Around the rugged Queen grew secret societies such as the Annexation Club, and finally, in 1893, a Committee of Safety took possession of the government office building, formed a republic, applied to the U.S. for annexation. Five years later, to the sound...
...never before. Old hands for new jobs: chic, leggy (5 ft. 111n., 130 Ibs.) Anne Scott-James, 44, who left the Sunday Dispatch fortnight ago to fill the specially created post of adviser to the Beaverbrook empire (four papers with a total circulation of more than 8,000,000); buxom, blonde Eileen Ascroft, forty-sixish, who will leave Beaverbrook's Evening Standard in April to primp up the score of dowdy women's magazines that Press Lord Cecil King (the Daily Mirror-Sunday Pictorial group) got when he bought Amalgamated Press...
