...President had been worried about his mother, 94-year-old Mrs. Martha Ellen Truman, ever since she had fallen and broken her hip three weeks ago (TIME, Feb. 24). He had hurried to her bungalow in Grandview, Mo. immediately after the accident, had telephoned every day after he got back to Washington. Last week, flying west in the Sacred Cow on the first lap of his trip to Mexico City (see above'), he was about to see her again, but he still seemed vaguely restless.

That was Sarah Bernhardt's price, said she, and "in a way, I was as famous...
...Britain's ambassador to Russia, he used to dictate reports in the Embassy backyard under Moscow's boiling summer sun, stripped to the waist. As ambassador to China, during the heaviest Japanese bombings of Chungking, he imperturbably remained in a patched-up bungalow on the blasted north bank of the Yangtze long after most other envoys had prudently moved. His combination of closemouthed diplomacy and forthright bluntness pleases (and somewhat tickles) Britons, who regard him as one of their ablest and most diligent diplomats...
