Sooner or later spectators at a professional hockey game are probably going to witness a homicide. In the third period of a Manhattan game between the New York Americans and the Boston Bruins last week, the Americans' brash young forward Lloyd ("Dede") Klein collided with the Bruins' 200-lb. center, Nelson Stewart. Annoyed, Klein whacked Stewart with his stick. Furious, Stewart punched Klein's jaw. One of the referees separated the fighters, ordered them off the ice. When the referee turned his back, Stewart raised his stick with both hands and brought it down on Klein...
They know that what Realmleader Adolf Hitler really wants is national church unity. He picked Dr. Müller, a brash ex-Army chaplain, for the job of knocking Protestant heads together, and at that job the Realmbishop has notoriously failed. Last week the Opposition Pastors set about organizing their own national Protestant Administration, hoped that Der Fülhrer may eventually accept it in preference to Knocker Müller's. In alarm the Realmbishop thundered, "I shall hold the office which the Eternal God gave me until the Eternal God recalls...
...wear that uniform and kick a half-grown lion in the pants is bound to come in first eventually." And last year Roscoe Turner began "coming in first" until today he is the outstanding speed pilot of the U. S. His rivals sneer at his clothes, at his brash statements that he is "a bit of a hero to the boys of the country," at his public swagger, but there could be no sneering at the flying records that he has won in the stiffest competition. His speed racing began in earnest in 1930 when he first broke the East...
When Austria's Archduke Franz Ferdinand was done to death at Sarajevo 20 years ago, no camera caught the act, although a memorable newspicture shows the capture of Assassin Princip. Last year at Miami, Hearst's brash Cameraman Sammy Schulman snapped Chicago's late Mayor Cermak bleeding from his fatal pistol wound (TIME, Feb. 27, 1933). Far more striking was William Warneke's famed shot of New York's Mayor Gaynor, taken a second after a bullet struck him in the neck. But no complete view of an assassination-before, during & after...
...troubles began when he was chairman of the New Orleans RFC advisory committee which loaned $4,000,000 to the Union Indemnity group of insurance companies not long before they crashed early in 1933. That stirred New York's hulking Congressman Hamilton Fish Jr. to one of his typically brash outbursts, this time on Banker Hecht and a "rotten mess." Suspicious of any & all banks at the time, depositors outside New Orleans began to withdraw deposits. Banker Hecht soon had a first-class run on his hands, which was not stopped until he called in Huey Pierce Long...
