...heredity or environment? Johannes Lange is a German and therefore methodical. He is a criminologist and therefore curious about human behavior. Lange had heard many an argument about heredity v. environment, knew that Sir Francis Gallon in 1876 had tried to show heredity prevails, by examining the histories of twins. Skeptical of Galton's extremist conclusions, Herr Professor Lange decided to adopt Galton's method but without preconceived ideas. With painstaking cunning he set about gathering data on twins one or both of whom had a criminal record. When the dust of research settled, Herr Lange...

But Chicago Corp. has one thing its twin lacks, and that is an investment in 250,000 shares of Willys-Overland Co. common stock. Because of that stock it is the weaker company, and under terms of a merger announced last week its shareholders will receive only 65/100ths of a share of Continental Chicago for every share of Chicago...
Harold Lloyd leases his studios and has a complete staff of film-makers on his payroll. Paramount merely distributes his films. It took him four months to make the skyscraper shots in Feet First. Nobody doubles for him in high places. He uses fewer twin-exposure shots than most skeptics would suppose. He is an athletic young man and keeps himself in shape on the private golf course, tennis courts, handball courts, and in the gymnasium of his expansive house. When he is making a climbing comedy his only protection is a platform with mattresses on it, built out from...
