Tense on the centre aisle of Manhattan's small Holy Cross Armenian Apostolic Church last Christmas Eve sat a little band of men who were not there to worship God and His Son to be born on the morrow. Brilliant in churchly regalia, a solemn procession moved up the aisle toward the candle-decked altar. When Archbishop Leon Tourian, tall, grey-bearded primate of his Church in America, drew abreast of them, the men did what they had come for. A double-edged butcher knife flashed once, vanished in the Archbishop's abdomen. (TIME...
...gram of radium presented to her by President Harding in 1921 in behalf of U. S. admirers; the $50,000 given her by President Hoover in 1929. But modest Mme Curie always turned away from such honors, such gifts. At her bedside last week were her daughters-Eve, the musician, Irene the scientist who worked with her husband in better quarters but in much the same spirit as Pierre and Marie Curie a generation before them. Mme Curie had lived long enough to see Irene honored as co-discoverer of a phenomenon that excited physicists the world over, artificial radio...

To the General Motors Building he invited an army of U. S. leaders for a prophetic symposium on "Industrial Progress in the Next Century." What some of the guests saw ahead...
Come What May (by Richard F. Flournoy; Hal Skelly, producer). In 1896 Chet Harrison was full of plans. He and Eve would go to Yellowstone Park for their honeymoon, build a house of their own. Possibly he would get that better-paying job as typesetter for the New Orleans Picayune. The Yellowstone Park trip is given up when Eve's father is killed in a buggy accident. They go to live in her mother's house. Patient, cheerful Chet is only too glad to forsake the Picayune job because he wants to be on hand when Eve...
