...Socialists leaped to their feet, stamping, screaming, hurling oaths and an occasional book, shoe, inkstand. . . . For almost five minutes absolute pandemonium reigned. From the Tribune M. Poincaré looked down with a sneer only partially masked by his beard. He, ever fearless, did not sneer rashly. His compact figure stood symbol for the might of his "Sacred Union Cabinet" (TIME, Aug. 2), uniting all parties but the extreme Left groups. M. Poincaré possessed, and none knew it better than he, powers which no French Premier has held since the election of 1924 returned a Chamber so evenly divided between...
Last week another effort was made. Smith, whose mouth turns down at the corners, missed a putt; Sarazen, whose mouth curls up in a grin, holed a birdie 4. Smith, who sometimes falters, shied his drive into the rough; Sarazen, who swings with compact precision, banged far down the fairway. "Ho ho!" cried hasty ones, "You see how this will end!"

His personality matters little. His mind astonishes. The analytical and retentive powers are developed to a point that permits him to lecture, with staggering speed and intricacy and unfailing accuracy of citation, unaided by a single note. Second only to his accuracy is his energy. To hear Dean Pound tally up the work he has despatched in a day sounds like an ordinary...
