...Preaching is doomed," cried a preacher last week at the Northern Baptist Convention in Washington. He was Dr. Bernard Chancellor Clausen, slight, blond, emphatic pastor of Syracuse, N. Y.'s First Baptist Church, a onetime Navy chaplain and communications officer on the U. S. cruiser North Carolina. Dr. Clausen began broadcasting sermons in 1920. He now speaks eight or ten sentences to "appropriate" music in a morning radio service, conducts a Saturday night radio Bible class with dramatized Bible stories. Last February Dr. Clausen spoke by air to the "largest audience of Baptists ever assembled," his listeners tuning...
...after eight events. Stanford's total went up as the field event results became final. After 13 events, the score was 42 to 42, with one more race to run. It was the 200-metre final. No Stanford sprinter had qualified and all Southern California's lean, blond, curly-headed Charley Parsons-son of Coach Dean Cromwell's college and teammate Charles B. Parsons-needed was a fifth place in the six-man race. The runners crouched at the start. The field spread going away from the mark and drove into the straightaway with Howard Jones...
...sketch showed a central figure who looked like a blond Russian (eventually posed by Tammany Boss John Francis Curry's grandnephew Hugh Jr., 22) under a big television machine which projected on the rest of the design the worker's choices.

Through the composition criss-crossed two spurs, showing...
...festival to the leadership of Bruce Anderson Carey, a bespectacled, broad-shouldered Canadian of 57 who teaches at Girard College in Philadelphia, trains and conducts the Mendelssohn Glee Club so well that Conductor Leopold Stokowski frequently engages it to sing difficult choral works with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Like blond-mopped Stokowski, Bruce Carey conducted last week without a baton, bringing out the Mass's mighty effects with direct, compelling gestures of his two bare hands. During intermission Festival directors met to discuss ways & means of perpetuating Fred Wolle's idea, to keep Bethlehem the U. S. headquarters...
...youngsters at Hun School in Princeton, N. J. the Besler boys were usually mistaken for twins. (Now William is dark, slender; George is blond, stocky, has a mustache.) As Princeton undergraduates they played polo, learned to fly, owned planes. As graduates they became steam-engine conscious, as are all Beslers because of the family's substantial interest in Davenport Locomotive Works. They went to California and got control of Doble Steam Motor Corp., which had been in difficulties, began producing steam automobiles, steam trucks and busses. About three years ago the Beslers and their friend Clement Harts began experiments...
