Another group of U. S. businessmen has been applying lighter-than-air pressure in Washington, to get the U. S. to re-establish itself in the rigid airship field. They could derive some encouragement last week from the annual report of Rear Admiral Arthur B. Cook, chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics. Admiral Cook made, without change, the recommendations made last spring by his predecessor, Rear Admiral Ernest J. King: for the U. S. to begin immediately the construction of a metal-hulled airship of 1,500,000 cu. ft. capacity, a larger airship...
...corner of this country, at least, the pesky problem of the agricultural surplus has been solved. Right in line with all American principles of rugged individualism the solution came, not from black-capped college professors or brain trustees, but from the colored cook of that homespun novelist, Edna Ferber. A friend of ours who recently had the pleasure of visiting her in New York spent most of her time being shown the glories of the lady writer's new Park Avenue penthouse, famous in the eyes of its present possessor as the former home of Ivar Krueger, the match king...
...primaries, had a 400,000 majority, three-quarters of it piled up in Chicago. State's Attorney Thomas J. Courtney, whom the Kelly-Nash crowd also tried to ditch, not only polled more votes than Franklin Roosevelt but more than any other candidate ever polled in Cook County: 1,276,984.

Each has raised, killed and dissected more than 150,000 mice. Their purpose: to learn whether or not a tendency to cancer is inherited, and, if so, how. Dr. Slye has decided and firmly declared that cancer is genetically a recessive character which she can breed out of her mice and could, if given a stupendously free hand, breed out of human beings (TIME, Aug. 31). Dr. Little, less loudly, declares Dr. Slye...
...Goldman Sachs as a porter in 1907 after a short Manhattan career as a newsboy and Western Union messenger. It was years before the partners even knew him by name. By his own account he got ahead by being "such a fresh kid." During the War he was cook on a submarine chaser, until yanked into the Navy's Intelligence Department. Brilliant, blunt, energetic, he takes vast interest in the affairs of any company in which he is a director. Occasionally at board meetings he pulls out an essay on the duties of a director, reads...
