...snapshots. "It seems like we got a lot from small towns," says Jones. "Florida was big, big, big. I don't know, maybe it's because there are so many grandmothers in Florida and they all feel they have great-looking grandchildren." Sears executives now estimate the final tally may top a quarter of a million...

Although their claim for $300 million in damages was effectively dismissed, they would be allowed to publish the Tom Swift Jr. series, as specified in a 1951 agreement. Ruefully, the combatants might recall the innocent days when all that fictive boys and girls had to worry about was Melted Coins...
