...Parliamentary member for the last 28 years has been Stanley Baldwin, now nearly 70, and younger members of the Party say he would understand more of their troubles "if the P. M. ever had to fight for his seat, instead of just standing in Bewdley." To its homely broad-brogued farmers the Prime Minister went last week to confirm what everyone knew -that he is about to retire from office (TIME, March 22), although from a newly-bought house in London's Eaton Square he will weightily counsel the Conservative Party and through it His Majesty's Government...

A liberal statesman (Actor Meredith) counsels nonresistance. Before the people can make up their minds what to do, the Conqueror is among them, "broad as a brass door: a hard hero: heavy of heel on the brick." Only the announcer sees that there is nothing inside the armor at all. The People are prostrate. Only the Announcer knows that the People invent their oppressors...
...relax on the banks of the Charles, of sensuous nights, when one can still peel his coat and gad about in open automobiles. Each year without fail the coming of spring means the return from hibernation of America's only nationally recognized institution. When you see pictures of broad-smiling, becapped youths and old young men in the papers who are reported to be "holding out", when mothers miss their offspring regularly in the long afternoons, when mayors start exercising their arm muscles, you know truthfully that baseball is here...
