Early in the evening the ghouls of Schneider's Band invaded Lamont and disturbed a terrified group of Library lodgers with the Brandenburg Suite.

Last week both the Left Bank and the right banks puzzled over L'Affaire Schneider, which involves a battle for the control of an old and powerful iron and steel empire.

Under Liliane's elegant and cynical father-in-law, the late Charles Prosper Eugene Schneider, the company shipped arms to most of the world's warring nations. It bought iron mines, foundries and shipyards, and won control of more than 200 arms plants outside France, including Czechoslovakia's Skoda, which it sold to Czech interests just before the Nazis occupied all Czechoslovakia. The French government nationalized Schneider...
