...Charter Stretcher. Ex-Im's current president is Samuel Clark Waugh, 70, a Lincoln, Neb. banker who took over in 1955. Under Waugh, loans last year hit a record $535.9 million. Waugh has stretched his charter a bit to keep Ex-Im operations flexible. Sample: massive stabilization loans ($100 million to Mexico, $25 million to Chile) are not meant to be spent but to give a psychological lift to a currency threatened by inflation or devaluation. But further than that Waugh will not go, or even look. "I'm a lender, not a giver," he says...
...good shoemaker" and the "poor fish peddler" who were executed in 1927 after a bitter, seven-year battle in court, in the press and in many minds, keep agitating American imaginations. Composer Marc Blitzstein is writing an opera about them, and an off-Broadway producer is planning a musical.

Unlike most books about pets, which can only be classed with disposable Kitty Litter, this one is not sentimental. The subject, a female felis leo somaliensis, is too big for that. This great creature...
...this stage, the book becomes Joy Adamson's treatise on How to Bring Up a Cat, with problems familiar to those who keep one, but lifted to the heroic plane (by the Hegelian principle that quantity turns into quality: if you get enough of something, it becomes not just more of the same thing, but something else in itself). A selection of Mrs. Adamson's wisdom includes some notable deductions about cats of all sizes...
