...TIME's portrait of the French Premier and Man of the Year was painted by Harris Rodvofrin from a photograph of Pierre Laval as he faced Herbert Hoover in the Lincoln Study at the White House. The photographer: famed Dr. Erich ("Candid Camera") Salomon whom TIME and FORTUNE brought to the U. S. from Germany (TIME...
...well integrated. Parts which are pure spectacle are noisy, informative and magnificently photographed. Best shots: a covey of bombing planes wheeling one by one to dive at a target (shown three times); a plane landing on the deck of the U. S. S. Saratoga as seen by a camera attached to the underpart of the plane; target practice in which airplane gunners fire at three blimps with cameras mounted on their guns.

Final calculations, however, gave him an average of only 281.9, less than the 4.97 margin allowed him to receive official credit. Moreover, no record would have been allowed because...
...where it took three men to steady the tripod. Her 1930 New York business announcement, an ascending view of the Chrysler spire taken from atop the scaffolding, made recipients gasp. In her recent five weeks in Russia she had five proposals of marriage. She uses an Ansco "view-type" camera (but always carries a Graflex, too); develops her plates herself...
