...ever seen (TIME, April 12). What many lecturers on the novel have endeavored to put across in a month's time, is set forth in TIME so concisely and yet so fully that the Woolf enthusiast is given at once the whole essence of Woolfism. And to crown the whole evaluation TIME takes the crux of Woolfism for its cover caption: "It is fatal to be a man or woman pure and simple Virginia Woolf has turned her back on the microscopic detail of Naturalism, and like the French painters of her own generation, turns to simplification...
Good Neighbor. Looming behind and above this flurry of fiscal planning last week, however, was still the three-year-old man-to-man fight for Cuba, Fulgencio Batista v. Sumner Welles. In Cuba, Mr. Welles had hoped to make a record which would crown his achievements in the Dominican Republic and Honduras and bring about his dream of becoming Under Secretary of State. Last week Fulgencio Batista was still a hard brown obstacle to that dream. To boss Boss Batista, Sumner Welles would apparently have to do just what Franklin Roosevelt promised not to do on Pan American Day: actively...
Plenty of sound, solid flesh is what ample Queen Wilhelmina of The Netherlands thinks should be on Crown Princess Juliana. From this opinion many a prospective royal suitor of past years differed and so did the jolly Princess, who used to make wry jokes about the thickness of her calves (TIME, Aug. 12, 1935).

Bottom story is Hitler's farewell to Prince Bernhard ("Benno") zu Lippe-Biesterfeld departing from Germany to marry Holland's Crown Princess : 0 credits. Penalties are exacted for using libelous material; "rewrites" of "scoops" in papers already gone to press; pressagent commercial blurbs. Posing publicly as players of the game to help its sale when presented last week at $2.34 by Manhattan's R. H. Macy store, were William Randolph Hearst...
...Disregarded by the majority of Americans as a left-wing liberal with a boringly Messianic style, Waldo Frank at 47 is at least as much a part of the U. S. scene as the Hyde Park orators are of London's. Unlike most liberals he suffered a broken crown for his beliefs (in 1932 when he led a relief committee into troublous Bell County, Ky.). Last September he was jailed in Terre Haute because he was in Communist Candidate Earl Browder's company...
