Here was a case worth a prosecutor's diving into, and in dove New York County's ambitious District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey in unprecedented style. Although the State's Attorney General had the case well in hand. Prosecutor Dewey secretly called before his Grand Jury Dick Whitney's sister-in-law while he himself queried Mrs. Whitney. Then Prosecutor Dewey suddenly snatched Dick Whitney from under Lawyer Ambrose V. McCall's astounded nose with an indictment charging that Richard Whitney had appropriated another $105,000 in securities from the trust fund left...
...Bridal Crown (by Johan August Strindberg; produced by Experimental Theatre, Inc.). A group of actors "making their first public appearance on any stage" dove headfirst last week into the swirling torrent of half-mad Swedish genius.

...this sequence of lyrics 25-year-old Joyce gave his version of love's old sweet song. Among apple trees and amid green woods, far removed from the bleeding tarts and coal-quay whores of Ulysses' Dublin, the young lover sings the praises of his "dove," his "beautiful one"-half angel, half virgin; he finally persuades her to undo the snood ''that is the sign of maidenhood"; and ends up in the classic predicament of all lyric lovers: starkly sitting on his bottom, all alone. A genius at mimicry. Joyce succeeds in imparting a flavor...
