...Gator, premier danseur of an ostrich ballet set to Ponchielli's corny Dance of the Hours; Susan, the hippopotamus ballerina whose blimplike cavortings in a pas de deux with Ben Ali Gator literally bring down the house in a wreck of flying plaster; Bacchus and his donkey Jacchus, who trip and roll through the Grant Woodland scape of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony...
John M. London '41, president of the Roosevelt Club, also smiled broadly as he predicted victory for the Donkey. He didn't stop with the paltry 22 states which the Republicans count on, but blandly reeled off 28 states which will certainly cast their ballots for the Democrats, and ten more which may very well do the same...
Thousands of visiting Democrats and a few donkeys appeared in Chicago last week. Most of the donkeys (on the hoof and on signs) were soon removed.

Day before, as the Excalibur docked, three days out of Naples, Italy had declared war, and the whole Mediterranean Sea had become a war zone barred by the neutrality laws to U. S. ships. Ahead of grim-faced Skipper Samuel Norman Groves lay stops at Tel Aviv, Haifa and Beirut, a run through the eastern islands to Piraeus, second calls at Naples and Genoa. Then...
