...This team has great strength on the attack. Indeed, I defy anybody to pick a more offensive aggregation." So wrote massive, loudly liberal Columnist Heywood Broun, old New York World sports reporter, in his syndicated column, picking his own 1937 All-America Stuffed-Shirt Eleven. Eliminating a left wing entirely, Leftist Broun put both Sinclair Lewis and Boake Carter at right guard, Dale ("How to Win Friends") Carnegie at quarterback, New York's bumbling Senator Royal Samuel Copeland at fullback. "Because he has a tendency to block the attack of his own side," Mr. Broun, against the advice...
...revival will not take place," wrote Columnist Walter Lippmann last week in the New York Herald Tribune, "just because Mr. Krock of the New York Times is able to imply that Mr. Joseph Kennedy and Mr. Jesse Jones are seeing the President rather more often these days than Messrs.

...also remarkable for the fact-rare among wives' memoirs-that it contains nothing to embarrass the husband. First published serially in The Ladies' Home Journal (TIME, March 8), and now among the ranking bestsellers, This Is My Story is told without literary pretensions. Several cuts above her columnist style, but with the familiar homely, philosophical asides, This Is My Story traces Mrs. Roosevelt's successful struggle to achieve self-sufficiency, a social conscience, against the heavy inhibitions of a strait-laced socialite environment, awkwardness, homeliness, family cares, fears ranging from burglars to not being able to have...
