...accept his reforms Franklin Roosevelt, two-time Man of the Year, could not justly hope to repeat. In the Old World in 1935, for the first time since Versailles, a group of potent statesmen exercised concerted influence over other nations than their own. . . . . . . Prime undisputed rankings were those of Ethiopia's Emperor Haile Selassie as Underdog of the Year, and of Italy's Dictator Benito ("Just-A-Man") Mussolini as Aggressor of the Year. The other leading characters in the puzzling exhibition included the youthful Front for Idealism, Great Britain's Captain Anthony Eden; his more practical...
...matter how few the casualties, one person almost certain not to survive the Ethiopian war has been Lij Yasu, "Child of Jesus," the 38-year-old onetime Emperor of Ethiopia. Deposed by Haile Selassie in 1916, Lij Yasu has since 1926 been a closely guarded prisoner in the fortress of Gara Mulata, well fed, comfortably lodged, but handcuffed night & day to the wrist of a guard.

From the newsreel about France's Fascist organization, the Croix de Feu, it cut all indications that the late Alexandre Stavisky was protected by grafting high officials and that...
...world weary is he that this morning, like a true rover that he is, he shan't let names of lectures wind his way but rather the names of men. So at nine he is off to Sever 19 to hear Professor Kittredge--no, not on Ethiopia, simply Shakespeare. At the same hour--as the mood moves him--he may go instead to Sever 11 to hear Professor Munn. At 10 o'clock he will listen to Professor Sorokin in Emerson 211. At 11 o'clock either he will hear a stimulating lecture by Professor Bixler in Emerson...
