Bridges, 53, an agricultural expert by profession, got into New Hampshire politics through his activity with state farmers' groups. In 1934, in the face of a Democratic landslide, he was elected governor, the youngest (36) in the state's history. During two years in office, he stabilized New Hampshire's shaky finances, started a new system of state services (unemployment insurance, old-age benefits) that to some of his old farmer friends smelled suspiciously like the New Deal. Elected Senator, he went on to Washington in 1937 to wage a long and persistent guerrilla fight against...
Working quickly, the G.R.S. men placed the airman's remains in a rubber-lined, zippered pouch. An aircraft expert combed the wreck, snipped off bits of metal bearing serial numbers. Then the party scrambled back to its own lines.

Even the United Nations, in whose name Collier's fought the war, lodged an official protest against the magazine...
Sloan's more realistic works now seem part of a vanished age, but their humanity will never date. Technically they are expert, and in such nostalgic pictures of Manhattan as The Lafayette (reproduced opposite) the luminous depth of their color goes beyond mere expertness. Yet simplicity and warmth are the main elements of Sloan's art, which makes it hard to criticize. John Sloan himself guessed that "maybe the reason I haven't made a greater position in the history of art is that I am not sufficiently critical of my own work. Like one of those...
Happy's motives for treason and his final sacrifice are never convincingly shown, but expert photography and realistic acting make Decision Before Dawn one of the year's best melodramas...
