...Lickety-split from a blizzardy Georgia vacation went William Lyon Phelps to New Haven, to see a Yale production of Timon of Athens, which put him one step closer to his life-long ambition: to see all of Shakespeare's plays before he dies.

Buyers were sitting tight and production was running on. So the No. 1 U. S. copper customs smelter, American Smelting & Refining Co., began taking odd-lot orders at 12¼?, while its competitors were hopefully holding out for 12½?. Meanwhile, export copper and the price of a couple of marginal units slipped...
