...advisers who ordinarily arrange extraordinary conferences with Mr. Roosevelt were already complaining that the occasion had become uncomfortably historic. According to this somewhat jaundiced view, the President's brother-in-law, Gracie Hall Roosevelt, had bungled at a crucial stage in the Administration's Second Recovery Program. By arranging a White House invitation to Henry Ford, moaned these counselors, this onetime Detroit comptroller had also arranged a White House dramatization for the stiffest and most nonresilient member of the Opposition; had, indeed, obliterated the effects of the friendly pronouncement from SECommissioner John Hanes's Sixteen Businessmen...
Sophomore year is a crucial test for a major-league baseballer. It proves whether or not he has been just another child prodigy, whether he will get his degree or flunk out. When Joe Di Maggio of the New York Yankees finished his sophomore year last October with 46 homeruns, 167 runs driven in, .346 batting average and a leading role in the World Series, he knew he was not going to flunk...

Taking his stance for his last and crucial shot, Mike Blazek just perceptibly faltered. His ball crossed the head pin for a "Brooklyn"' hit.* The No. 5 pin wobbled, teetered, finally fell. The crowd yelled. Mike Blazek had done what only four bowlers in the 38-year history of the American Bowling Congress had been able...
When a baseball pitcher pitches a no-hit game, he and his teammates are likely to exchange congratulations. Conversely, when the pitcher is being batted out of the box in a crucial moment, his own infielders are likely to find fault with him and with each other. That something of the latter sort was going on between Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his circle of close advisers was suggested last week by two well-informed Washington observers...
