...change, the Dancing Masters this year have noted that radio is plugging mostly languorous waltzes and slow exotic tango-tunes. Thus no one was surprised when President Sheehy manifestoed: "It is a return of grace and dignity to the ballroom that is on its way. . . . The popularity of soft, crooning melodies and the return to favor of the long skirt have paved the way for the waltz. Furthermore, the middle-aged and elderly are tired of being ignored as in the passing era of jerky jazz dancing and are insisting upon steps that do not try to make a jumping...
...soft-coal-into-hard-coal idea is an old one, its history strewn with failures. Hundreds of schemes of low-temperature carbonization have been exhaustively investigated. Chief of these was the German KSG process, which was exploited by International Combustion Engineering Corp., now in the hands of receivers.

The Hitchcock influence is largely responsible for the new feeling that real polo talent from anywhere in the land is welcome on Long Island to help defend the Cup. At least one Californian seems sure to be on the team this year, for the first...
Last week Wolf Lamar, heavy, well-dressed, soft-voiced, continued to fulfill the common conception of his type. Cool, bland, he appeared unimpressed by charges that he had been conducting a brokerage business under the name of Murdock & Co., had failed to deliver 2,500 shares of Fox Film, could not account for the proceeds from 1,000 Grigsby-Grunow. His attitude coincided with that of his attorney who said: "The charges are a thousand miles from grand larceny." Reticent about himself, Wolf Lamar continued uttering such ultimatums as: "It is a bull market today and bear operators will...
