...syndicated columns, after sampling the scissors & knives of Dorothy Thompson, Westbrook Pegler, Heywood Broun, turn to Eleanor Roosevelt's My Day for healing and balm. To some other readers, the President's wife seems the Pollyanna of columnists. Even when, last fortnight, she reproved Dramatic Critics Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times and Richard Watts Jr. of the New York Herald Tribune for their blunt dismissal of Save Me the Waltz, a short-lived, Graustark-under-a-dictator romance, it was still in the spirit of loving the sunshine. Critics Atkinson and Watts, wrote Columnist Roosevelt, "seemed...
Simultaneously reproved, this week Critics Watts and Atkinson simultaneously retorted. Critic Watts suggested that Fascism is no matinee-chocolates matter. Critic Atkinson challenged Eleanor Roosevelt's dramatic criticism in general. He relished her description of Paul Vincent Carroll's Shadow and Substance (TIME, Feb. 7) as "whimsical and charming."

If the present rules regarding the number of composition courses a man may take were maintained, the fact that...
When Amherst's trustees ousted Alexander Meikeljohn (TIME, June 25, 1923 et seq.),when Governor Huey P. Long forced Thomas W. Atkinson out of the University of Louisiana, the issues were plain between Reaction and Liberalism. In the La Follette-Frank ouster, the spectacle presented was that of one celebrated Progressive steamrollering another. Had Phil La Follette been a Tory Governor, the outcry from U. S. Liberals would undoubtedly have been prodigious, for along with his smooth exterior and the careful polish which has removed all trace of his native Queen City, Mo.. Glenn Frank has. with facile...
