Chief conspirator seemed to have been Hyung Kim, a 35-year-old tailor who before leaving closed his store and sent a mimeographed letter to all his customers saying he was not coming back. Police found an empty pistol holster in his home and an air navigation chart. With him went his pretty 21-year-old wife (or mistress). Three of the conspirators had fought for North Korea during the war, had been captured, "renounced Communism," then enlisted in the South Korean army. They had all been in touch, said the police, with one Kang, "a North Korean agent with...
...crystal-ball gazers who try to chart the course of the U.S. economy usually hedge any predictions with plenty of ifs and buts. Last week the U.S. got a refreshingly different kind of forecast from Carrol M. Shanks, president of the Prudential Insurance Co., second biggest in the U.S. (first: Metropolitan Life).

But the woman looked different. Besides, protested Astorria. "my friend came in a pink underskirt." At mention of this garment, one of the volunteers recalled: "The patient who died in bed No. 19 was buried in a pink underskirt." Now at last the volunteers understood why the woman in bed No. 33 had muttered protests when they called her Giuseppina. She was in fact Anna Bianca Battachi...
...medication and even bathing. Showing a universe divided into quadrants composed of the qualities (moist, dry, cold and warm), and put in harmony with man's organs and appendages (Leo governs the heart; Pisces governs his feet) as well as his temperament (choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic or melancholic), the chart carries the zodiac year on the outer ring, the calendar on the inner ring, to be lined up with the center as a sort of ovaloid slide rule. Behind the Zodiac Man stands a near mirror image of a "Vein Man," another medical illustration, which usually indicates by dots...
