...Roberts, 61, the Court's baby. At the other end of the bench Justice Cardozo. 66, was reading intently. Justice Sutherland. 74, stroked his Vandyke, also read. Chief Justice Hughes, 74, spoke quietly to Justice Van Devanter beside him and Mr. Van Devanter, 77, smiled dourly. But the argument went on to its conclusion, the Justices interrupting occasionally to make inquiries. Finally they rose and filed out in their customary dignity without either the attorneys or the courtroom audience realizing that they had witnessed the reception by the Supreme Court of an historic document: Franklin Roosevelt's message...

It is true that this period suits a great majority of college men, that most of them "feel just about old enough to graduate" after matriculating for the usual number of years.

...printed remarks of Commentator's commentators were neither new nor original, contained no editorial dynamite. Lowell Thomas dug up old yarns of German inflation. John B. Kennedy contributed an argument against the winning of the heavyweight championship by Negro Joe Louis Barrow on the ground that it would irritate Negrophobes. Mr. Kaltenborn, most literate of the commentators, offered an old interview with Spain's late Philosopher Miguel de Unamuno. Hearst's Edwin C.
