...years ago the question "Who is George Dimitroff?" could have been answered with enthusiasm only by his old mother. Then German police arrested Bulgarian Dimitroff in their frantic efforts to arrest almost anyone except the Nazis who everyone believes set fire to the Reichstag (TIME. March 6, 1933. et seq.). It was assumed that innocent Communists could be browbeaten before the German Supreme Court into confessing that they had set the fire, or at least that their mouths could be stopped by execution. In stead the Supreme Court acquitted all except the half-witted Dutchman Marinus van der Lubbe. During...
Last week the Army & Navy flatly demanded that the Home Ministry, which had already rejected a previous doctrine that the Emperor is "an organ of the State" (TIME, April 15 et ante), should not only recognize His Majesty's ineffable superiority but proceed to express it in a Japanese idiom so elaborate and metaphysical that U.

Last week Dr. Park, through Health Commissioner Dr. John Levi Rice, invited Dr. Muckenfuss to transfer to Manhattan and understudy until he could pass civil service examinations for Dr. Park's directorship...
...Appellate Court was New York's Supreme Court order making Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, 11, a ward of the court, giving her to her mother, Mrs. Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt, for weekends, Christmas and July, to her aunt, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, for the rest of the year (TIME. Dec. 3 et ante). Though the opinion went out of its way to exonerate Mrs. Vanderbilt of her onetime maid's charge that she behaved indiscreetly with the Marchioness of Milford Haven, it pointedly concluded: "If the relator [Mrs. Vanderbilt] shall avail herself fully of her rights under the order, she will spend...
