Bufano made the model three years ago, before Danysh was appointed Regional Adviser. Danysh is an energetic young man with a lot of excellent ideas and impulses who happens to have a brown beard. He is not a stuffed shirt, is locally famous for his humor, would not have permitted himself to be the model, seeks no fame through the Saint. TIME'S account was pleasant to read, partly incorrect, but not too grievously so. Friends of Bufano are glad the creation of a great monument to a great human being is the source of some warmth and humor...
...joint resolution called for repeal of that portion of Nevada's Constitution which prohibits lotteries. When young Assemblyman J. E. Sweatt of Washoe County arose to argue against it, the measure's friends called him a "long beard."

...were vainly questioned. Then police captured a thick-witted peon named José Gancedo who had disappeared from La Sorpresa the night of the kidnapping, and who aroused further suspicion by failing to explain where he got the new clothes he was wearing or why he had shaved his beard.

At the death of this pope of Islam, therefore, pious believers would look upon the offspring of his daughter perhaps not as an orthodox and regular Caliph but certainly with utmost reverence in the absence of any other Caliph.

Jacob Bertha Levison, 75, somewhat resembles the eminent flutist Georges Barrère in his close-cropped, courtly white beard and twinkling eyes. He too plays the flute, but this and his long patronage of music in San Francisco are matters of diversion. For 60 years Mr. Levison's business has been with disaster by land & sea. Fortnight ago he retired from the presidency to the chairmanship of San Francisco's famed Fireman's Fund Insurance Co. Last week its two main subsidiaries confirmed him in the same change of office. Having thus ended 20 years...
