Surviving Blauvelt family members say that "Uncle Louis" was a meticulous researcher and record keeper. For each entry in his genealogy, he kept an index card that referred to the source of his information. The card on Durie Malcolm cites only a letter from Howard Ira Durie of Woodcliff Lake, N.J. Howard Durie says his letter was "conversational," merely stated that he had seen a society column which noted that Durie Malcolm and Jack Kennedy had attended football games together in Miami...
...part of the Russian language. But the fame of his creature brought the author only temporary comfort. The bearers of the hammer and sickle did not take to Sologub's fin de siecle literary notions. After the 1917 Revolution, Sologub's works were put on the Soviet index. He died, penniless and in despair, in 1927. It was only four years ago that the Soviet Union finally permitted The Petty Demon to be reissued-in a small printing of authors prudently labeled "enemies of the nation." Yet Sologub's target was no one nation. "Each...
...electric power industry and passage of a 15% withholding tax on dividends has kept the Milan Borsa from rallying with Wall Street. Even on those stock exchanges where Wall Street still sets the pace, local issues have made for lagging prices.

In France, the worry was whether the government would resort to stiffer taxes, or borrowing...
...Labor Department's consumer price index shows that there have been recent reductions in the prices of new cars, tires, gasoline, refrigerators and other household appliances. While the cost-of-living index has edged up a bit more than 1% in the past year, most of that push has come from higher prices for services (see chart), such as medical care (up 3%) and public transportation (up 4%). Consumers are still clamoring for an increasing quantity of services, and are apparently still willing to pay handsomely for them. Service prices are high, partly because people are willing...
...more of the indicators that businessmen watch for a clue to the shape of things to come were leveling off-a phenomenon that characteristically indicates that a period of recovery is coming to an end and a period of recession lies a few months ahead. The industrial production index in June barely managed to inch its way up from May's 117.5 to 117.8. June's $700 million increase in total personal income was the smallest for any month since January, and factory workers' income actually declined by $200 million. The gross national product, which had been...
