...ghost of the 1912 Wilson-Taft-Roosevelt presidential campaign-flitted last week about Washington, cast a spectral eye at the White House itself. One 1912 issue was "No Third Term for Roosevelt"; one 1928 issue may be "No Third Term for Coolidge." Last week Michael J. O'Shea of Worcester, Mass., said that in 1912 he had canvassed prominent Republicans to secure signatures to an anti-third term petition. Of the many signing, said Mr. O'Shea, one was State Senator Calvin Coolidge. Mr. O'Shea added that the signatures were made in duplicate, that one copy went to Washington...

After her freedom had been purchased, "Pinky" went to live with a Brooklyn family, was re-named Rose Ward, dropped from the public eye.

François Coli, son of a hardy clan of seamen, with a black patch over his right eye, left the Paris airport of Le Bourget (TIME, May 16). It was barely possible that they had lost their way in the fog and were alive somewhere in the wilderness of Labrador. It was more likely that heavy ice on the wings of their plane forced them to death...
...against the shadowed course of events at a frowning castle across the channel in Cornwall. There Tristram, "orgulous and full of fate," is discovered lamenting the irony of the wedding he has blindly arranged for his gaunt-armed Uncle Mark, a "man-shaped goat" with a salacious eye. Having awakened late to its meaning for him, Tristram has a name upon his lips that becomes a cry, a despairing exultation: "Isolt, Isolt of Ireland...
