...enterprising Post-Dispatch produced evidence to show that an infant previously planted in the Muench home in July had subsequently died. The rival Star-Times turned up clues indicating that the "gift of God'' belonged to Anna Ware, not to Mrs. Muench, whose marriage had been childless for 23 years. After a change of venue, Mrs. Muench was acquitted of the kidnapping charge by a jury of farmers and small shopkeepers at Mexico, Mo. (TIME, Oct. 21). Under terrific pressure from Press and public, the habeas corpus hearing began in St. Louis only ten days later. Some strange...
...Childless and divorced, George II, protege of British George V, was reported to have in mind seating beside himself on the Throne of Greece his sister Helen, the gracious royal female for whom King George & Queen Mary have most sympathy. The language in which George V invariably refers to how beauteous Helen was treated by her buck-toothed consort King Carol II of Rumania is salty with sea oaths (TIME, Sept. 10, 1934).

...Once he was actually elected president of the University of Wisconsin. On the wintry night he turned it down, 700 Law School students crowded around his house to cheer: "Harvard, Harvard, Harvard, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Pound, Pound, POUND."

Often he spends most of it inside his walnut horseshoe desk which is lined with some 300 books. When he wants one he spins around...
Panayoti Tsaldaris, though determined to restore the Throne and strong with the prestige of having just put down a Republican Revolution, is somewhat skittish about her cousin, ex-King Georgios II. One year was the short span of "Gorgeous Georgios' " kingship twelve years ago, and his childless ex-Queen divorced him recently (TIME, July 15). Two months ago Marina let it be understood that she, at any rate, is fecund. Last week the British public was supposed to think that the prospective young mother was merely resting in Yugoslavia at Prince Paul's romantic Bohinjsko Castle where...
Friends of Gorgeous Georgios retorted that so far as faithfulness is concerned Elizabeth is well known to be keeping a "Secretary," handsome Alexander Szanavy. Since her union with Georgios II was childless, they added, it will be just as well for His Majesty to return unencumbered to the Throne and pick a more fruitful Queen. Few days later Elizabeth and her M. Szanavy, with Carol and his Mme Lupescu, celebrated in high spirits the granting of the divorce by Rumania's Appeal Court...
