Tiny Pierrot of Hartlebury, best Pekingese (TIME, Jan. 30) and best toy dog, got swooping dabs from his owner's hairbrush as he bounced along. Close on his heels, in ridiculous contrast, stalked huge, brindled Great Dane Gunar von Hollergarten, best working dog. Then came liver & white Norman of Hamsey, an English Springer Spaniel who had barely beaten out famed old English Setter Blue Dan of Happy Valley for best gun dog. The ribs and muscles of snow-white Greyhound Boveway Beau Brummel, best hound, looked like delicately chiseled marble. His kinky jet hair and the crimson ribbon...
...striking contrast to Mr. Davis's statements were the remarks made by Maleolm Greenough '25, of crusader's, Inc., on of the outstanding repeal organizations.

The association of these two facts admittedly proves nothing; according to medical advices it had nothing to do with the boxer's death. But it focuses an ugly light on the managerial claim, that "He had to die to prove he wasn...
...waves of bank failures that have periodically swept wide areas of the land since the Depression have washed harmlessly around northern California. In contrast with Illinois' 207 bank closings last year, Iowa's 150, Michigan's 86, California boasted a lean 32. Last week a wave skittered down California's sun-drenched Sacramento Valley, toppled over Woodland's Bank of Yolo with $2.500,000 in resources, washed away Esparto's Bank of Esparto, struck down the two biggest independent banks in the State Capital, the California National of Sacramento and the California Trust & Savings...
