...personal friend of my family I can say, with authority, that Ekizian is NOT a Turk. Thank goodness! I am ignorant of the source where newshounds acquired that erroneous and misleading fact of bald-headed Ekizian's being a Turk. I am certain that Ekizian, himself an Armenian, would not have informed sport scribes that he was a Turk-an insult to any true Armenian! Majoring in journalism at school, I am quite aware of the fact that some reporters resort to "sensationalism" to ask for a raise the next morning; or perhaps they are alliteration fiends unable...
...only Republican firm to have made any political profit during the last three years of the New Deal Congress has been the North Dakota concern of Frazier & Lemke. Senior member is big, bald Lynn J. Frazier of Hoople, who sits in the Senate. Junior partner is freckle-faced William Lemke of Fargo, who does business for the firm in the House. Representative Lemke, despite his wrinkled clothes and his frequent need of a shave, has a good command of English, a well-schooled mind, an amiable disposition, a law degree from Yale, a conscientious ability far above the Congressional average...
...discovery that Leftists are as hungry for reading matter about their favorite subject as jazz addicts or baseball fans is only the latest of many sound ideas which have germinated beneath the bald skull of Victor Gollancz.

...Author. If a writer's stature is measured by the influence he has on his contemporaries, then Henry Louis Mencken must be counted great. In the last ten years his influence has dwindled notably, but to a college generation now growing bald he was the greatest debunker of them all. For his vigorous and vivid style, that sometimes rises to heights of rhetoric and grotesque anathema, he has never been given his due rating, being regarded less as a good and aggressively sensible writer than as a sort of public entertainer with a sleeve-full of uproarious phrases...
Youthful Manager Alfred Reginald Allen, a shrewd peacemaker in Philadelphia since his appointment year ago, figures out the Orchestra's payroll which amounts to about $10,400 per week, exclusive of Stokowski's salary. Invaluable to the Orchestra is bald-headed Marshall ("Curley") Betz, who acts as librarian and general baggage master. Marshall Betz allied himself with the Philadelphia band the same day that Stokowski did 24 years ago, understands the conductor's and the players' moods. With the current tour Betz faced his stiffest undertaking. He is responsible for the many scores that...
