...authors of Red, Hot and Blue may have slipped, but the performers manage to hold the altitude of their past achievements. As "Nails" Duquesne, a rough female diamond who thinks that a man with two wives is committing bigotry, Ethel Merman lifts a brazen voice, rolls a comic eye. Roly-poly Bob Hope (Roberta} is coyly engaging as the young-man-who-has-lost-the-girl-with-the-iron-burn. Jimmy Durante, sprung from the penitentiary against his will to speed the search, has never been funnier. He cross-examines himself, gets into a frightful wrangle with an interior...
...Lincoln, the 2,922 days that Thomas Jefferson was President were probably the most turbulent in the history of the U. S. "It was a lusty period," says Claude Gernade Bowers, "by no means so sedate as is the popular impression-a period of marching mobs, of rebellions more brazen than that of Shays, of backstairs gossip and back room intrigues, of whispering campaigns and political assassinations."

Emmet O'Malley, who has certain powers over General American, grew exceedingly alarmed, loudly called the whole deal a brazen violation of Texas insurance laws, declared he would ask the Texas insurance superintendent to join him in court action to set it aside. Moreover, said the jealous Missourian, Mr. Milton had coerced the Texans into buying the two companies by threats that control would otherwise be sold to "undesirable" persons. Meantime, Mr. Milton, having made a clear $830,000 profit for his investment trust on the deal, departed...
...present Administration to maintain political power in your article on Emil Hurja [TIME, March 2]. I had a taste of it in our local WPA and resent to the innermost core of my being this threat to personal freedom and self respect. And what could be more brazen than the frank acknowledgment and the making scientific of a spoils system that smells to high heaven. It is high time we wrested the fate of our citizens from the clutches of the politician and entrusted it to those trained in public administration. Such tactics as those used by Mr. Hurja turn...
