...word of this did Franklin Roosevelt allow to creep into his public utterances. Business has never been the favorite child in his political family. That place has been, reserved for Business' weaker brother, the underprivileged "one third" of the U. S. population ("ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished"). The President was at pains not to show any signs of changed feelings...
...Along the road [Carmel-San Simeon highway, opened late last month-TIME, July 5] are the mouths of many lonely and inaccessible cañons which creep away up into the Santa Lucia Mountains. Five miles up one cañon is a large lime kiln deserted for more than 30 years. No wagon road ever went to it. The lime was brought down from the mountain to ships at the shore by a mile-long steel cable. The trail over which I suppose burros could travel is obliterated most of the way. We first explored this...
...they approached the bridge, Eliot, still rowing at a lower stroke, began to creep up on Kirkland, and they cut the latter's lead to a deck length when they shot under Massachusetts Avenue.

For certainly "Rembrandt" is not a great picture. Laughton, overimpressed with his own impressiveness, talks in a whisper that makes flesh creep, while the whole theme of the artist's life seems too simple for him and yet too deep, and it evades the hand of the actor as a consequence. Nevertheless, with fine support from Gertrude Lawrence and Elsa Lanchester, the picture does give an idea of the tragedy of Remrandt...
