...lives and destinies of untold millions of people, and have been the controlling influence in history for nearly 2000 years. Why? Because behind his simple words throbbed the power of a unique, unconquerable, divine spirit. Behind the veil of utter simplicity shone the glory and majesty of a deathless ideal which made men say when once they saw it, "When I and weak, then am I strong." This ideal changed slaves into masters, cowards, and weaklings into heroes, bad men into saints and martyrs. It can and will transform the world again. Charles Hooper...
China has never won a modern war, but two years ago in the smoke and flame and searing Hell of Japan's avalanche against Shanghai she whelped a towering hero, General Tsai Ting-kai of the deathless 19th Route Army (TIME, Feb. 22, 1932). Last week on the Olympic he steamed into Manhattan and Chinatown went wild. Rich merchants had hired a suite for their hero at the tall-towered Waldorf-Astoria. They sent three planes with Chinese pilots roaring down the bay to dip and zoom in welcome. As the Olympic drew in, 4,000 jubilant celestials jammed...
...last resting places of Golfer Tom Morris and his son & namesake who between them won eight British Open titles between 1861 and 1873.

On that oldest and most formidable of courses, they and their six teammates were determined a week later to inter some live golfers, the British Walker...
...Last week Fukien's bold rebels dared to claim that they, not Nanking, represent the true Government of all China. Hurling defiance at Generalissimo Chiang they announced that their army will be led by General Tsai Ting-kai, famed commander of the 19th Route Army in its deathless defense of Shanghai (TIME, Feb 22. 1932, et seq.) What is left of the Old 19th, brought up to full strength by new recruits, will fight under General Tsai. More important, the new Fukien Government has as its "brains" that amazing man of South Chinese politics, Eugene Chen...
...Ominous seemed the fact that the Foreign Minister of the Fukien Government is notorious Chen Yu-jen (Eugene Chen), long the Communistically inclined stormy petrel of South China politics. As War Minister the new state has General Tsai Ting-kai, famed commander of the 19th Route Army in its deathless defense of Shanghai (TIME, Feb. 22, 1932). Governor Li Chai-sum of Kwangsi Province was styled the "Chairman" (President) of the new Government but Chinese called him a mere front for Red Eugene Chen...
