Even more convincing was dapper little Senator James Francis Byrnes's victory in South Carolina over fiery Thomas Porcher Stoney, onetime Mayor of Charleston, and gaunt Colonel William C. Harllee, retired Marine (TIME, Aug. 24). Jimmy Byrnes squeaked into the Senate in 1930 with 120,000 primary votes to 116,000 for Coleman Livingston Blease. Last week, with 250,000 votes to 37,000 for his two anti-New Deal opponents combined, the President's Senate contact man piled up the biggest majority South Carolina had ever given a State-wide candidate...

And since plenty of cash might further the idea, they mentioned it to Nick Schenck, who not only runs the most consistently profitable U. S. cinema company, Loew's Inc., but also its prodigious production subsidiary, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. After much shuttling between London, Manhattan and Hollywood, Isidore Ostrer and Nick Schenck were able to sit down with Joe Schenck last week and face the Press united...
...read the essential literature of the last ten centuries would require several years. Last week nearly 1,000 years of Europe's art was visible in a day at the Cleveland Museum of Art's 20th Anniversary Exhibition, celebrating the Great Lakes Exposition. Borrowed by suave, dapper, erudite Director William Mathewson Milliken in the astonishingly short time of five months, from U. S. museums and private collectors, from the Louvre in Paris and from half a dozen Italian collectors, Cleveland's paintings made a show more comprehensive and legible than Chicago's two great art exhibits...
