...reveal their silliness. The story is by Ursula Parrott, author of famed Ex-Wife; it will probably gross several million dollars. Norma Shearer is a working girl who says, "A girl may kiss and ride on as well as any man." Yet when Neil Hamilton, her journalist lover, companion of an illicit weekend in Mexico, says a casual goodbye to her, she is seen in one of those rapid sequences indicating a shattering of feminine morale-broken scenes in which Miss Shearer dances in the arms of successive admirers, always to the accompaniment of a shrill, annoying laughter that...
...Cushing's hypothesis (now that it is offered it can be tested in many ways) lay in his primacy among brain surgeons and medical scholars. A dozen institutions have loaded him with honorary degrees in arts, medicine, science, law and literature. He is a Distinguished Service Medalist, a Companion of the Bath, a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. Medicine has given him a "homage book," like the one it recently gave Professor James Ewing (TIME, Jan. 12). Not his least valued kudos is the Montclair Yale Bowl given each year by Yale alumni living in Montclair...
...East India Company. But the routine of army life soon bored him; he was always putting in for risky assignments: investigations in disguise among the natives, a journey to Harrar in Somaliland, whence no white man had ever returned; searching for the source of the Nile (his companion Speke got the credit for discovering Victoria Nyanza, but Burton led the expedition).

Some spoke...
...Arctic wastes in 1928, first sighted General Umberto Nobile and his party from the wrecked dirigible Italia, stranded on the ice near Spitsbergen. Sitting behind Col. Madda lena in the seaplane last week was Capt. Fausto Cecconi, 26, former co-holder with Maddalena of two flying records. With their companion, Lieut. Giuseppe Da-monte, they were going to Rome to try and regain their non-refueling endurance and distance records from the French, who had just wrested them away with a 76-hr, flight. Over the Mediterranean not far from Pisa, the plane's propeller snapped. Flailing blades ripped through...
...more fuel. There he was passed by crack Pilot Robert H. Fogg, flying an open biplane with a Paramount cameraman. Pilot Fogg (who, like Balchen, was one of the few pilots to reach Greenly Island and the stranded air- plane Bremen three years ago) circled Horse Island while his companion photographed the icebound rescue ships carrying the 127 survivors. He tried to land, wrecked the plane's undercarriage...
