Ingrid Bergman, whose eleven years of marriage (to a surgeon) stand as an example to Hollywood, made a little visit to Sweden-her first trip home in nine years. Romping about with husband Peter Lindstrom, she was caught in a snapshot (see cut) that would make a fine travel poster-or even a yeast...
...total daily file off the train was down to 75,000 words, only half the "copy drop" from Tom Dewey's train. Between stops, the reporters never visited Mr. Truman in his armored car, the Ferdinand Magellan. He had not wandered up their way since an earlier trip, when a LIFE photographer had snapped him by surprise as he looked in on a poker game...
...transatlantic trip didn't do them any good. The plane, buffeted by headwinds, had to detour by way of Iceland. Nathoo took the pitching & tossing like a seasoned air traveler (which he isn't) but Bayeux got panicky and tried to kick his way out of the airplane. Despite all his armor (a helmet, knee guards and heavy leg bandages), by the time he was unloaded in New York Bayeux was bruised and scratched. Four days later, the two horses paraded postward at Belmont Park to take their shot at Citation in the $100,000 Gold...
...Shelf. Appliance sellers, among the hardest hit by the Government's credit curbs, complained that refrigerators were backing up on them; radio stores were only saved by the boom in television sets. A West Coast furrier, on a scouting trip to New York, discovered that his fellow furriers were keeping their stockrooms bare, rushed home and cut his prices 15-20%. Shoe manufacturers, some of whom had already cut production, were also talking of post-Christmas price cuts as high as $1 a pair. Many another manufacturer who last year had to stall off customers was now ready...
Double Nightmare. The generals got very little information from agents in Britain. (Hitler may have gotten more and kept it from them.) Hitler himself made only one trip to the Channel coast. He went to Cap Gris Nez one day in 1940, looked over the Channel toward Britain, and went home. The "Atlantic Wall" was never a system of continuous fortifications; Rundstedt called its defenses "absurdly overrated." There was no real cooperation between the Luftwaffe and the ground forces, the generals told Liddell Hart. And the Battle of the Bulge, which seemed so powerful an assault to the Allies...
