...will long ago have discovered that the photograph (credited to Keystone) you printed on p. 21, TIME, Dec. 9, was not that of General Sung Cheh-yuan, as labeled. Difficult to corner with a camera, General Sung is much younger, larger, bigger-boned. Current dealings with Major General Kenji Doihara leave him no time for such books as that carried by the real man in the picture. The book happens to be a Bible, and the man himself deserves a greater place in U. S. hearts than Warlord Sung. He is Yao Chen-yuan, 80-year-old Chinese Christian, sole...
...most recent photo of General Sung Cheh-yuan which I took yesterday at the general's review of his troops.

Last week Aspirant Landon arrived at the same conclusion by a different route, let it be known around Topeka that, "perhaps I shall have to learn to adopt my christened name. ... If I stuck to 'Alf I am afraid some critics might think I was doing...
...From the hotel room in Rome where he has lived obscurely since 1923, George Santayana has looked back to Harvard and New England for his fable. Born in Madrid, Dec. 16, 1863, he was 9 when he was taken to Boston, where his half-brother and half-sisters were members of the famed Sturgis family of New England. A strange set of circumstances lay behind this migration. "None of us," Santayana once wrote, "ever changed his country, his class, or his religion." Santayana's Spanish-born parents met in the Philippine Islands. His mother's first marriage...
