…The only way you'll pay less for a diamond than at Tapper's, is to buy less of a diamond. At Tapper's we sell diamonds of superb quality, and we will compare them with anyone's.

That's our policy, and we back it with complete cash refunds. The next time yo...…

…EDITORIAL Goldberg's Altruism T he death of Arthur Goldberg last Friday was the death of a devoted public servant, of a man who was passionate about his Judaism — and of one of the last architects of old-fashioned, mid-20th century liberalism. Goldberg's involvement in public affairs spanned many decades and many offices. As a labor lawyer in Chicago, he became both a champion of the New Deal and of unionism. During the Second World War, he...…
