...Leon Blum, who calls himself a Marxian Socialist, has never been Premier despite the fact that his Socialists have been holding down more Chamber seats than any other party (112 out of 610). For 18 years, sad-featured, droop-mustached Socialist Blum has been looking and talking as though the worst were just about to happen-and this year France has at last felt Depression's pinch. Naturally friends have been saying, "Now's your chance!" and Leon Blum has been campaigning shrewdly, championing money and other things dear to the petite bourgeoisie, despite his Marxism...
...Author? For 20 years a musical and dramatic critic droop-headed Sophisticate Van Vechten wrote his first novel, Peter Whiffle, at 42. Since then The Blind Bow-Boy, The Tattooed Countess, Nigger Heaven, Spider Boy, Parties have ripened his racy fame. Besides memories he collects autographs, postcards, pamphlets, book jackets, cats...
This year loyal Republicans will vote for a presidential nominee who has aged 20 years since they first voted for him in 1928. The White House has left its scars of service on the President. His hair is greyer. His shoulders seem to droop in discouragement. The lines about his eyes have cut in deeper and those about his mouth have hardened.

Conservative, sentimental, Editor Dennis personifies the News, a relic of the days of Founder Lawson, the days of Writers Eugene Field, Finley Peter Dunne, George Ade, Keith Preston and Dramacritic Amy Leslie (TIME, Sept. 8). Managing Editor Henry Justin Smith, lean, droop-mustached, with a stride like a camelopard, will continue to run the news staff as he has done for 30 years. He is often visited by his one time Reporters Carl Sandburg (who still writes a column) and Ben Hecht or Critic Hughes, either in his office or at Schlogle...
Next day it did rain, torrentially. Hagen plugged along for a 72, then a 74 and posted a total of 282. His heavy jowls had a satisfied droop as he waited for Farrell and Alliss, who had started half an hour behind him, to finish. Playing together over the drenched, sodden course, they were respectively three and six strokes behind Hagen's score at the ninth hole. On the tenth, Alliss got a birdie 2, followed by four pars. On the fifteenth he got a birdie 3 and on the sixteenth dropped a 15-ft. putt for another...
