...painting of St. Mark by an unknown Austrian artist, visitors could find a cubistic treatment of planes; in a fantasy by the Flemish painter Pietr Huys, Carnival Scene, were strange suspensions of rods and dangling objects like the "mobiles" of U. S. Artist Alexander Calder. Two duelists on skates approach each other with impedimenta as weird as the White Knight's. One of them grins from within a birdcage-topped barrel, while the other, armed with poker & tongs, crouches under the carapace of a sheep-skull. A bored hermit reclining in the background is ostentatiously not interested...
...much success selling his column in the newspaper offices they solicited. In the past 60 days, however, as the Johnson bombardment of the Administration has grown to Alcazar proportions, United Feature salesmen have been able to add 13 papers to the General's string. This does not remotely approach the more than 500 papers for O. O. McIntyre, but it brings Hugh Johnson about $25,000 a year...
Steve Donoghue won the Derby once more after that-in 1925 with H. E. Morris' Manna-to set a record of six Derby victories. His total of 1,840 winners does not approach the all-time record of 2,775, established by England's 19th Century Fred Archer.

And by retiring this year he will cut himself off from another record: 46 years of jockeying, set by Great Britain's John Osborne. As a public figure, however, Steve...

P., chosen disciple of the nearest approach to Herbert Hoover ever produced in Canada, namely pompous Richard Bedford Bennett who as Prime Minister disastrously lost the last Dominion election (TIME, Oct. 21, 1935). Mr. Bennett, having picked Mr. Rowe to achieve high office, had King George V make him a Privy Councilor and groomed him carefully, but quite failed to develop a popular Conservative leader in Ontario...
...minutes and a mile farther away is the next most important landing-Floyd Bennett Field off the tip of Brooklyn. Smoother than Newark, superior in equipment and less hazardous to approach, its commercial activities are confined to a single regular passenger service-one American Airliner a day to Boston-taxi services and private flying. Third field is Port Washington, a temporary base for German and British flying boats and Bermuda Clippers. The 20-mile journey from Grand Central takes just under an hour. The great runways at Mitchell Field and the smaller ones at Miller Field, Staten Island are used...
