...usual, a soft buzzer sounded, the little page-boys scampered aside, the great red curtains parted, and the Justices of the U. S. Supreme Court stepped between them to their black-leather chairs behind the long mahogany bar. But this time there was a difference. At Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes' left, a chair was draped in black; on his right sat one of the loneliest men in the world. No spectator on last week's decision-day could look at gaunt, craggy-faced James Clark McReynolds* without a stir of sympathy...

Up darktown's Rampart Street whoop King and courtiers, laughing at the whites on the royal way. At 7 p. m. their parade ends, and the drinking and the loving begin...
...Dealer Roosevelt and in Mexico City to even Newer Dealer Cardenas seemed to go over big with the Cuban populace. The Strong Man's return from these visits was celebrated in Havana with unprecedented popular rejoicing and wild huzzas. Last week, the Communists swung into line behind "Liberal" Batista as the Cuban electorate turned out to vote for delegates to a Constituent Assembly which is to draft a new Constitution for Cuba...
