May Case, 88 pounds and 9 years old, is hailed as Newspaper Girl of the Year in Los Angeles. Helena Rubinstein, 90 plus, fends off would-be robbers in her Park Avenue apartment with a firm command to leave. Tass reports Russian nonagenarian Mislimov prefers a horse to a six mile car ride to his 159th birthday party. Rothberger plans ongoing study and typing courses after finally achieving her degree. Case marks 75 years in journalism since starting at age 16. Rubinstein, about 92, was tied up by robbers who fled when she refused to open the safe.
