Well, Just the other evening, when I was broadcasting trom the CBS studio 1n New York, we had a story on Douglas Mac~rthur that you may recall. The story about MacArthur and Marcus Tullius Cicero. The Amer1can General, who 1a often spoken ot as the greatest General of our modern era - MacArthur was referring to the Roman statesman in his address. 'l'hia was when the MacArthur chair or history was established at Columbia University. And during the course or my broadcast telling about it, I aald that Cicero made the mistake or - attempting to overthrow Augustus Caesar. On which point 1 · received quite a number or lettora thot I've Just been reading on my way across the Atlantic and aa I flew on down to Rome. And where C 1 C 0l'O - 2 better to reply to them than from here within a stone's throw of the Forum where Cicero starred as an orator. So - let's see just what d1d happen back 1n the year 43 B.C. Caesar had been assassinated - the year before. The second tr1umv1rate was in power here in Rome - Mark Anthony, .Lepidus, and Octavian. Now, Cicero was a Republican• a Republican who opposed the second triumvirate. Although he was more hostile to Anthony than to Lepidus or Octavian - all three ot them signed his death warrant. So, Cicero fell for opposing Octavian. In my broadcast I called h1m Augustus Caesar. But was I wrong? At that moment everyone called him Octavian. But subsequently he did become the f1rat Roman Emperor under the title Augustus Caesar. At any rate, thanks to allot you who wrote mo. And now from Rome, as Cicero didn't say, Solong, L .T. k y, Lowell . But I'm not ure that I 1 l take any of those bi jumps with you - on the Innsbruck ski run. u . . rJ 0 t 0 u . ,OU C 1 00 , h b n h O m C' p lie .

The fire erupted in a cluster of chemic a l stora g e tanks - belongin g to the A merican M ineral Spirits Co. P roducing a r ag ing inferno of flames - which shot hundreds of feet into the air. Fanned by the wind, the flames leapt with incredible speed from tank to tank - and building to building. Dense black smoke blanketed the area - turning day into night. Employees rushed to safety. Hundreds of firefighters battled to keep the fire fro ■ spreading. Putting up huge fire walls to syphon off adjoining plants. The cause - still being investigated.
