...article (TIME, Dec. 12) described a Brooklyn divorce trial where the most important testimony concerned a gesture made by raising the hands to the forehead, extending the fingers like horns, and making an ugly face...
...week rode five despairing, middle-aged women put aboard by a noisy, demonstrative crowd of friends. In a parlor car on the same train, rode New York's bald, kindly Governor Herbert Lehman, glad to be unnoticed. At his office in Albany, some hours later, he met them face to face. For five hours Mesdames Fanny Zimmerman, Yetta Friedman, Ellen O'Loughlin, Yetta Chaleff, Mary Guariglia sat before him silent and tearless (by advice of counsel). For five hours he had to face them while lawyers-talking of poverty, slum life, marijuana, liquor-urged him to commute...
...world depression hit bottom in 1931 was Prime Minister George William Forbes, whose favorite cry was "Stabilize the Budget." He helped to stifle the 1932 Auckland riot with British bluejackets from H. M. S. Philomel and with 1,200 special constables swinging brand-new truncheons.

For although Basil Rathbone does a good job as the villain, Mars is the real villain. The "poor man's war" angle is unconvincingly put forward, but the flying sequences are good. The picture is sans love...
This year, after two years of League championships and records, Coach Hal Uien and his boys may have to face the inevitable. Of the group of phenomenally fast swimmers captained by Charles G. Hutter '38, only one, Jim Curwen '40, remains. Most of the Old Guard have graduated and Willie Kendall has abandoned college leaving two intercollegiate records behind him. Uien, the sports-writers, and the fans are new forced to get accustomed to "normal" times. Only within the grasp of scholastically ineligible Curwen is the possibility of smashing a record in the Hutter story-book fashion...
