Uncle Eustace in the Void. They all sat in a dark circle, holding hands. "Tell [Eustace] we're waiting," snapped Mrs. Gamble. Gamble "Only just come over," squeaked the medium. "Seems he doesn't rightly know he's passed on." In the darkness, Mrs. Thwale crooked her forefinger and traced the letters L O V E on Sebastian's palm. Then she traced a few other, unprintable, four-letter words. "Is it true?" she asked Eustace, "that where you are, there isn't any marrying?" "Backwards and downwards, Christian soldiers," retorted Eustace sarcastically...
...degree heat which has driven most Bostonians to Maine, to the Cape, or just to any cool place on weekends has also terminated almost all "live" jam sessions for the summer. However, the appearance of two new excellent jazz programs on the radio has done much to fill this void. Wednesday evenings at 7:30 o'clock, Cain's "Cain Is Able" pay the keep for half an hour over WMEX devoted to Louie, Bix, NORK, as well as moderns such as Hodes, Ed Hall, and Lester Young.

Austria is reminded, however, that she has a responsibility, which she cannot evade, for participation in the war at the side of Hitlerite Germany, and that in the final settlement account will inevitably be taken of her own contribution to her liberation...
...late 1918 Fridén was a Marchant draftsman, with an eye for profits rare in a mathematician-inventor. When the U.S. Government made Marchant discontinue its current model because it violated some German patents, young Carl filled the void with his own model-for $100,000 plus $1 on every machine sold. The next Marchant crisis-a patent battle with Monroe Calculating Machine Co., the only direct Marchant competitor-ended up with peace and cross-licensing for the two companies; a neat $225,000 cash-and-consultant deal (plus stock) for Frid...
