...tall, handsome, debonair young golfer, with a job at the Waterloo Club at Brussels, Cotton plays without the characteristic nervous waggle of his British confreres, drives a red Mercedes roadster, is reputed to be the best dressed professional golfer in Europe. He brought with him to Sandwich last week his private trainer & masseur. On the third round Cotton got a creditable 72. On the fourth he blew up completely with a 79, but by that time he was so far ahead it made no difference. His 283 tied Gene Sarazen's record Open total...
...basis for such an indictment. Felix Frankfurter's "hot dogs," the youthful element which he has introduced into the Roosevelt circle, have been using the word "revolution" with careless abandon. Mr. Richberg in several of his speeches has said we are in the midst of one. People acquainted with debonair Rexford Tugwell, knee deep in ideas for economic planning, are not in the least sure that he does not consider Roosevelt another Kerensky.

However, I can recommend "Another Language" without reservations. Helen Hayes and Robert Montgomery perform ably and are assisted by an excellent group of actors in minor roles...
...With judicial composure he strolled to the marquee where his plump wife was smiling, chatted for ten minutes, while Perry went to change his flannels for ducks that would flap less in the wind. With a crowd to watch him, Perry, like Borotra, gives an impression of being debonair, lighthearted, only incidentally concerned with winning. In reality, even more than most crack players, he is deadly serious about tennis. Determined to win one important championship in 1933, he had trained a whole year for last week's final. Crawford, despite his sturdy appearance, was last week suffering from...
