TIME continues to be my favorite News Magazine for the simple reason that I want the news. Some of the news is unpleasant to take, especially for a Minister of the Gospel-but I can take it. I was born a Britisher, and as blood is thicker than water, I still have a warm place in my heart for the British Isles. For this reason the escapades of King Edward VIII, and especially his relations with Mrs. Simpson, while almost revolting to a strict Churchman, seem to me to have a far deeper significance than that which is generally attributed...
...time-bomb for some future explosion. Andrew was a powerful, slow-minded, poetic young man who had been laughed at throughout his boyhood because of his harelip and crippled speech. Jim was a wiry, passionate young mill-hand who had defended Andrew all his life. When innocent, Georgia-born Myrtle Bickerstaff came to town and was paired with Andrew at a church social, won his pathetic devotion and fell in love with his brother, she provided the one element needed to complete the Tallons' tragedy...

Last week this neglected U. S. hero...
Indirectly casting doubt on the purity of Adams' motives, sophisticated Author Miller shows him as tenacious, wily, audacious, gives only a dim suggestion of the forces that inspired him in both his persistence and his cleverness. Born in 1722, Sam Adams was the son of a prosperous Boston brewer and merchant, studied at the Boston Latin School and Harvard. He was drawn into politics after quick failures in a counting house and in his father's business, did his first political writing anonymously at the age of 26. Caught up in the great religious revival...
