...Sirs: Many thanks for "In a Washroom,'' under Political Notes, p. 16, issue of Sept. 11. If the incident, the details of TIME so skilfully presents, opens the gate to that long-desired path through which Huey is to be permanently shunted into a one-way blind of alley, I shall accept it as convincing evidence of "Wonderous Ways." GEORGE B. LAUDER Sanbornton, N. H. To Mr. Rand & TIME Sirs: To able Mr. Rand and interesting TIME, praise. ''The March of TIME" brings to me the most exciting half-hour of radio entertainment so my radio...

It was Lafcadio Hearn's boast that he could smell the difference between a brunette and a blonde...
...scrawny, excitable horse, brilliant but undependable. He threw his jockey, Sonny Workman, who rode him last week, in his first start. He fell in the Pimlico Futurity. The next season, after being a winter book favorite for the Kentucky Derby, he ran badly in the Preakness, developed a blind quarter crack (hidden bruise) that made it look as though he might never run again. Last year, heavier (1,080 lb.), more composed, he lived up to his promise by winning ten of his 14 starts, setting a world's record for a circular mile race...
