This neat welding of snob appeal on to a cheap car was achieved by Manhattan Adman David Ogilvy, who had also dreamed up the eye patch for the much-copied "man in the Hathaway shirt" (TIME, June 23). No shy huckster, British-born Ogilvy appeared several months ago as the male model in his ads for Helena Rubinstein cosmetics (see cut). But at least one reader did not approve of his latest effort. When he saw the Austin ad, the Rev. John Crocker, headmaster of Groton (tuition and residence: $1,750), said: "It's all news...
Mookie, out of sight, worked efficiently. Suddenly, a rabbit bounded out of a nearby hole and fled across the heather in a series of bobtailed bounces, heading straight for a patch of scrub fir trees. Diana spotted the quarry almost instantly. When the rabbit was about 75 yards away, Falconer Wolfgang Stehle suddenly called "Habicht frei" (Hawk free) and released the thong which bound straining Diana to his. wrist. Wings pounding for quick altitude, Diana flashed after the rabbit. Closing fast, she wheeled into a vertical bank between two fir trees and plummeted downward for the strike...
...there is left nothing but a poor, forked radish with a head fantastically carved." The last German who ever wore king-gear, Kaiser Wilhelm II, took his Carlylean comeuppance in 1918. His heirs, as a result, have faced the necessity of sinking their roots in the radish patch of common humanity.

Hand-to-hand scrapping is his ideal: "Everything else [in war]," he assures Guy, "is just bumf and telephones." His pursuit of his ideal has left him with "a single, terrible.eye . . . black as the patch which hung on the other side of the lean, skew nose." His smile is a grim baring of carnivorous teeth; he grasps his cocktail glass in "a black claw" consisting of "two surviving fingers and half a thumb." He is fond of discoursing on the proper use of infantry. "You must...
Rough Air. But in the last few years Northwest has been hitting one patch of rough air after another. In 1950, potential passengers were not encouraged by a Northwest suit against Boeing for late delivery of ten Stratocruisers. Northwest claimed the planes had so many bugs in them that they had cost Northwest $6,000,000 to put them in flying shape (the suit was later withdrawn). Northwest had even more trouble in 1951, when its pilots refused to take Northwest's Martin 2025 aloft after five of them had crashed (TIME, April 23, 1951). The line...
