...quick decisions. From his mother he inherits graciousness, sentimentality. Well-liked throughout the organization, "Bill" has honestly tried to apply himself to being publisher of the New York American within the limits imposed by a crown-princely aura and his father's incurable autocracy. Also he understudies bald, owlish Edmond David ("Cobbie") Coblentz as editorial chief of all Hearst morning papers. His enthusiasms are genuine. And if the American's capture of the old World's classified advertising and the development of a lively "opposite editorial page'' are not to be credited to him solely...
...with a foundling will appeal twice as strongly. The infant in the picture, billed as Baby LeRoy, is really eight-month-old LeRoy Winebrenner, of Pasadena, Calif.

MacDonald, John Cushny, and one Gregory, still held in Soviet jails last week on charges of sabotage (TIME, March...
...Ritz the American Society of Composers, Authors & Publishers was having its annual dinner. No music was played but present among the 350 songwriters were erect, square-cut old Theodore Metz, 86, who wrote "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight''; thin, bald Harry Von Tilzer who wrote "Down Where the Wuertzburger Flows'' and "The Old Fall River Line''; pink, froggy Harry Armstrong who wrote "Sweet Adeline...
