...methods. To ask that the President declare now whether he will or will not run again, said he, is as crude as the third degree; in fact, it is "no more than a blunt demand that Mr. Roosevelt give himself up and confess." Nor did Detective Lippmann have much esteem for the political sleuths who have followed President Roosevelt's actions, studied his speeches, questioned his associates, interviewed his followers, looked for clues at press conferences. "Mr. Roosevelt," he observed, "is too smart to leave fingerprints and tell-tale cigaret butts around . . . too tough to be bulldozed...
Last week Jacob Thorkelson could count his Congressional chums on his thumbs. The decline and fall of Jacob Thorkelson in his colleagues' esteem began with his comradeship with Fascist-minded Major General Van Horn Moseley. It continued when he stuffed the Record with weird anti-Roosevelt statements, when he pointed out how many Jews head House committees. Fortnight ago the Thorkelson decline thumped bottom when he packed the Record with an eleven-column letter supposedly written by Colonel Edward M. House.

Clark's qualifications consisted mainly in the esteem of Critic Bernard Berenson (TIME, April 10) and two years of work with him in Florence. But with the job went a sure succession of official honors for tall, personable, athletic Kenneth Clark, and publication of the catalogue made him in due time the foremost modern authority on Leonardo da Vinci...
...pupils, Trudi consents. Although Trudi does no skating in her screen test, she makes the grade. Jimmy believes that, as the new star, she can be used to bolster the publicity value of Roger Maxwell (Rudy Vallée), a crooner on the studio pay roll whose self-esteem is more impressive than his newsworthiness. Touched by Roger's mash notes, which are really written by Jimmy, Trudi moons over him all during production of Girl of the North. Only when she learns the real author of the notes does Trudi realize that her heart has been bent...
