...Wood, outdriving his opponent by as much as 60 yds., was seldom nearer to the pin with his approaches. Shute, who said later that he had set himself the task of keeping ahead of Wood for the first round, had one tight moment when his approach caught Ginger-beer bunker on the 14th. He pitched out, sank his putt for a birdie and ended the first 18 holes still three strokes up. In the afternoon, Wood took 39 to the turn as he had done in the morning. At the 33rd, he was still five strokes behind. Shute, his long...

Boston streets were lined with cheering throngs (it was Bunker Hill holiday) as Franklin Roosevelt and his eldest son motored through the streets accompanied by motorcycles and a mounted escort.

Horton to greet his benign, white-haired mother who was staying there, then drove on half a mile to the school...
Possibly Torquemada is too real and lusty a term to apply to a society dominated by forces so complacent and so suburban. The nexus that binds these captious ladies with Saratoga and Bunker Hill has come to be a mere bloodless atavism. Probably the catholicity of vision required to realize that George Washington was, after all, a rebel, would be too much to ask of his spiritual daughters. But, at least, they might find innocuous content in polishing their guns and genealogies, and withdraw their febrile antiquarianism from the serious problems of politics and government...
...Anglo-Persian. Six days after Britain declared war in 1914 Winston Churchill jammed a bill through Parliament to buy control of Anglo-Persian for His Majesty's Government, so that His Majesty's ships might never fail for lack of bunker oil. Today only the U. S., Russia and Venezuela rank ahead of Persia in crude production. The bulk of the 45,000,000 bbl. annual output is tanked directly to Britain, Anglo-Persian having an agreement with Royal Dutch-Shell not to compete in the Orient...
